Treasure of Heaven

It spins and it sways

to the song of Your grace.

It whirls and it twirls

in an infinite space.

It calls out Your Name in a beautiful riot,

as it announces the glory of Your presence

by trumpet and racing chariot!

You take pleasure in those who fear You,

whose hope is in Your steadfast love.

You send out Your command to the earth,

Your word runs swiftly.

You give snow like wool;

You scatter the frost like ashes.

You send out Your word and melt them;

You make Your wind blow and the waters flow.

The storehouses have been opened!

The snow falls not before blind eyes,

for the intensity of purpose for which

You sent it has opened eyes wide!

Its laughter sings of Your love and beauty!

Let us heed the advice of Your snow.

Let us too praise Your Name with dancing,

making melody to You with song!

Ah, Snow…Sweet Snow…

Sovereign King

Snow Call…

Flurries and scurries,

Wistful in dream,

Light and airy,

Lovely,

Swiftly calling my name.

Beckons and whispers,

“Seek His face!”

Rise up and awaken,

Slumber is done.

The snow is the herald,

proclaiming the Son!
