Winter
Author: Julia H. Johnston Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Welcome, welcome, royal winter Refrain First Line: Winter, winter, royal winter Lyrics: 1 Welcome, welcome, royal winter,
All in white and crystal dressed,
King at last of all the seasons,
Wearing jewels on thy breast.
Refrain:
Winter, winter, royal winter,
Pulses tingle, hearts are light;
Praises to the gracious Giver,
For the season cold and bright.
2 Softly, softly falls the covering
Of the white and glistening snow;
Seeds of grain and flower rootlets,
Hide in safety far below. [Refrain]
3 When for me life’s winter cometh,
May my heart but stronger grow;
May the fruits in autumn gathered,
Last thro’ all the time of snow. [Refrain] Used With Tune: COLUMBIA Text Sources: Bible Study Songs, by Bertha F. Vella and Daniel. B. Towner (Boston: The Pilgrim Press, 1899)
