Original text and translations
English 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.
