1 When springtime prospers in the grass,
And fills the vale with tender bloom,
And light winds whisper as they pass,
Of summer days to come
In spite of all the joys she brings,
To flood and field, to hill and grove,
This is the song my spirit sings,
More light, more life, more love!
2 And when, her time fulfilled, she goes,
So gently from her vernal place,
And meadows wide, and woodland glows
With sober summer grace;
When on the stalk the ear is set,
With all the harvest promise bright,
My spirit sings the old song yet,
More love, more life, more light!
3 When stubble takes the place of grain,
And shrunken streams steal low along,
And all the faded woods complain,
Like one who suffers some great wrong:
When fires are lit, and everywhere
The pleasures of the household rife,
My song is solemnised to prayer,
More love, more light, more life!
