O ye Frost and Cold, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
O Frost and Cold, His Word fulfil,
And breathe from silent lips His praise;
On tree and pane a fretwork raise
Whose beauty baffles human skill;
And in the field and garden kill
The weedy growth of Summer days:
O Frost and Cold, His Word fulfil,
And breathe from silent lips His praise.
And breathe from silent lips His praise;
On tree and pane a fretwork raise
Whose beauty baffles human skill;
And in the field and garden kill
The weedy growth of Summer days:
O Frost and Cold, His Word fulfil,
And breathe from silent lips His praise.
Pity in happy hearts instil
For wanderers on the homeless ways;
And payment urge, for bygone lays
To flutterers at the window-sill:
O Frost and Cold, His Word fulfil,
And breathe from silent lips His praise.
For wanderers on the homeless ways;
And payment urge, for bygone lays
To flutterers at the window-sill:
O Frost and Cold, His Word fulfil,
And breathe from silent lips His praise.
