Sing oh the Earth and Skies and Flowers in Bloom

Sing oh the Earth and Skies and Flowers in Bloom

Sing oh the earth and skies and flowers in bloom

Sing of the savior come to make us new

Of infant lowly and gentle as a man

Who came to satisfy the father’s wondrous plan

—

Praise to the Father, what grace to give his son

And by the Spirit, to bless him as the one

To take our sins and save the wand’ring lost

And die for us regardless of the cost

—

Lord, I believe my sins were more

Than endless sands on open shore

Still, you, for me, a ransom paid

For me, was full atonement made

—

Jesus, thy blood and righteousness

My beauty are, my glorious dress

‘Midst flaming worlds in these arrayed

I’ll sing with joy I know will never fade

—

Bear me on till thy sweet glory I receive

Hold me fast; be ever be my reprieve

Lead me out of tempter's fanged clutches

Give me breath to praise you like the thrushes

—

Do all to the glory of the God who has won you

To the Son who works to make the sad untrue

Behold the Man who died upon that cross

To take our sins and save the wand’ring lost

—

Lord, I believe my sins were more

Than endless sands on open shore

Still, you, for me, a ransom paid

For me, was full atonement made

—

Jesus, thy blood and righteousness

My beauty are, my glorious dress

‘Midst flaming worlds in these arrayed

I’ll sing with joy I know will never fade

—

Lord, I believe my sins were more

Than endless sands on open shore

Still, you, for me, a ransom paid

For me, was full atonement made

—

Jesus, thy blood and righteousness

My beauty are, my glorious dress

‘Midst flaming worlds in these arrayed

I’ll sing with joy I know will never fade
