¶Lyrics / Text

::::''1.'' :All beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go; :The Hand that shaped the rose hath wrought the crystal of the snow; :Hath sent the hoary frost of Heav’n, the flowing waters sealed, :And laid a silent loveliness on hill and wood and field. ::::''2.'' :O’er white expanses sparkling pure the radiant morns unfold; :The solemn splendors of the night burn brighter than the cold; :Life mounts in every throbbing vein, love deepens round the hearth, :And clearer sounds the angel hymn, “Good will to men on earth.” ::::''3.'' :O Thou from Whose unfathomed law the year in beauty flows, :Thyself the vision passing by in crystal and in rose, :Day unto day doth utter speech, and night to night proclaim, :In ever changing words of light, the wonder of Thy Name. '''Lyrics: Frances W. Wile, 1912. She wrote this hymn at the request of her friend, William C. Gannett, who was helping compile a hymnal and wanted a winter hymn. '''
