A song of spring once more we sing by Francis Duckworth — Lyrics
1. A song of spring once more we sing
As winter flies away,
And changeful hours bring sun and showers
To weave a crown for May;
With heart and voice we all rejoice,
On this returning day.
2. For once again the promisestrain
Floats down from days of yore,
That fruits of earth shall wake to birth,

About A song of spring once more we sing
Francis Duckworth's A song of spring once more we sing is a hymn for SATB choir, set in English. This sacred anthem celebrates the arrival of spring, moving from the imagery of winter's departure to the promise of new growth and the bounty of the earth. The text expresses joy and gratitude for the returning seasons, and ultimately turns to praise for the Lord, recognizing Him as the source of life and the ultimate King. It speaks of dedicating these hopeful moments and burgeoning powers to His service, acknowledging a divine cycle that extends beyond earthly time. This piece is well-suited for occasions that mark seasonal change or express spiritual renewal.
