95. Spring Has Now Unwrapped the Flowers

E          A      E           B        A           B7 E
Spring has now un-wrapped the flowers, Day is fast re-viving,

E       A       E       B      A                 B7 E
Life in all her growing powers Towards the light is striving:

E        B7   G#       C#m   A      F#m7 B7  C#m   A
Gone the iron touch of cold, Winter time and frost time,

E          A       C#m         B      E        B7     C#m A E
Seedlings, working through the mould, Now make up for lost time.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Spring has now unwrapped the flowers,
Day is fast reviving,
Life in all her growing powers
Towards the light is striving:
Gone the iron touch of cold,
Winter time and frost time,
Seedlings, working through the mould,
Now make up for lost time.

[Verse 2]
Herb and plant that winter long,
Slumbered at their leisure,
Now be stirring, green and strong,
Find in growth their pleasure:
All the world with beauty fills,
Gold the green enhacing;
Flowers make glee among the hills,
Set the meadows dancing.

[Verse 3]
Through each wonder of fair days
God Himself expresses;
Beauty follows all His ways,
As the world He blesses:
So, as He renews the earth,
Artist without rival,
In His grace of glad new birth
We must seek revival.
