¶Lyrics / Text

1. Like the action of the ground, On its axis turns around, ‘Neath the sun of mighty power, life and light; So a wretched sinner whom, When he sees his awful doom, Turns from sin and seeks to know and do the right. <u>Chorus</u> Has the sun crossed the line, do you know? Has he melted all the ice and the snow? Have the birds begun to sing, Do you feel the joy of spring? Has the sun crossed the line, do you know? 2. Wintertime when earth is bare, Lifeless, dreary everywhere, Winds are high, and all about is hard and cold; So a life that’s full of sin, Where no light has entered in, And the peace of God has never filled the soul.
