3 We have had a sore Winters day, A pinching time was here; But shall such Weather fly away, And springing times draw near?
4 We praise thy great and glorious Name For Seasons we have had, O let us not be put to shame, But in thy self be glad.
5 We now must part, and for a while Not see each other here; So let us walk, that when Christ comes, With him we may appear,
6 And sing sweet Songs of Melody, And Joy in God above; And ravished be eternally With his transcendent Love.
6 And sing sweet Songs of Melody, And Joy in God above; And ravish'd be eternally With his transcendant Love.
