Winter
by The Crossing

Album: Just Between You and Me

The wintry wind extends his blast
And hail and rain dost blow
Or, the stormy north sends driving forth
The blinding sleet and snow
While tumbling brown, the burn comes down
And roars from bank to brae
And bird and beast in covert rest
And pass the heartless day

"The sweeping blast, the sky o'ercast"
The joyless winter day
Let other fear, to me more dear
Than all the pride of May
The tempest's howl, it soothes my soul
My griefs it seems to join
The leafless trees my fancy please
Their fate resembles mine!

Through the night, through the night
Through the night and all
Tho' all my strength be sorely spent
And stars do die and fall
To The my King I gladly cling
When black winds howl and blow
When all is done and battle won
Let Christ receive my soul

Thou Pow'r Supreme, whose mighty scheme
These woes of mine fulfill
Here, firm, I rest, they must be best
Because they are Thy will
Then all I want, (Oh! do Thou grant
This one request of mine!)
Since to enjoy Thou dost deny
Assist me to resign
