Tune: Southwell
(\'Lord Jesus, think on me\')
********
Amidst the dark and glooms
A single flower blooms
Then more do follow, Spring\'s advent
God has His seasons sent
Ground hard, fallow, shall bear
In due time with God\'s care
Shall bear again, too with man\'s toil
Fresh sproutings from the soil
Colour of grace is green
The grass it can be seen
And trees their leaves produce again
Though some be evergreen
You Lord give life to all
You hear who on you call
You Lord of heaven and earth for e\'er
With us your blessings share
If we abide in you
Your words bide in us true
So shall your promise you fulfil
We shall bear good fruit still
Hope springs as buds do flower
Your Holy Spirit shower
Upon us, fill us with your power
To love, serve you each hour
Away, the dark of night
Nor here in sin delight
Cultivated garden your heart
Glorifies God, each part
Through rain, cold, sun, wind, snow
We can still your plans know
You true the perfect husbandman
Who lifts the fruitful ban
