O God of grandeur and glory, in these days of earth's awakening, thrilling and throbbing with the loveliness of Springtime, we thank You for every beauty from which our enraptured minds drink as we bend in wonder at the petaled buds held high by bushes aflame with evidence of Your presence. And in the changing pageant of nature with forms and colors that thrill our senses, we see You for beauty is but Your handwriting. Make us to know that in the loveliness of Springtime that You are there. May it teach us that You are God of both nature and human nature.
Hear us in this our prayer of praise and thanksgiving. Amen.
