As the Sun with Longer Journey Lyrics

As the sun with longer journey

Melts the winter's snow and ice

With its slowly growing radiance

Warms the seed beneath the earth

May the sun of Christ's uprising

Gently bring our hearts to life

Through the days of waiting, watching

In the desert of our sin

Searching on the far horizon

For a sign of cloud or wind

We await the healing waters

Of our Savior's victory

Praise be given to the maker

Of the seasons' yearly round

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Source, Sustainer, Lord of life

As the ever turning ages

Roll to their eternal rest
