<p><em>Words:</em> Author unknown, 13th Century; first appeared in the Swedish <em>Piae Cantiones</em>, 1582; translated from Latin to English in <em>The Oxford Book of Carols</em>, 1928. <em>Piae Cantiones</em> was compiled and edited by Jaakko Suomalainen, a Protestant, and published in Finland by Theodoric Petri, a Catholic; this type of interdenominational cooperation was all too rare in those days of violent sectarian strife.</p>

|
<p>Spring has now unwrapped the flowers, day is fast reviving,<br>
|
|
Life in all her growing powers towards the light is striving:<br>
|
|
Gone the iron touch of cold, winter time and frost time,<br>
|
|
Seedlings, working through the mould, now make up for lost time.</p>
|
|
<p>Herb and plant that, winter long, slumbered at their leisure,<br>
|
|
Now bestirring, green and strong, find in growth their pleasure;<br>
|
|
All the world with beauty fills, gold the green enhancing,<br>
|
|
Flowers make glee among the hills, set the meadows dancing.</p>
|
|
<p>Through each wonder of fair days God Himself expresses;<br>
|
|
Beauty follows all His ways, as the world He blesses:<br>
|
|
So, as He renews the earth, Artist without rival,<br>
|
|
In His grace of glad new birth we must seek revival.</p>
|
|
<p>Earth puts on her dress of glee; flowers and grasses hide her;<br>
|
|
We go forth in charity—brothers all beside her;<br>
|
|
For, as man this glory sees in th’awakening season,<br>
|
|
Reason learns the heart’s decrees, hearts are led by reason.</p>
|
|
<p>Praise the Maker, all ye saints; He with glory girt you,<br>
|
|
He Who skies and meadows paints fashioned all your virtue;<br>
|
|
Praise Him, seers, heroes, kings, heralds of perfection;<br>
|
|
Brothers, praise Him, for He brings all to resurrection!</p>
