O Blessed Spring

O blessed spring, where word and sign
Embrace us into Christ the Vine
Here Christ enjoins each one to be
A branch of this life-giving Tree

Through summer heat of youthful years
Uncertain faith, rebellious tears
Sustained by Christ's infusing rain
The boughs will shout for joy again

When autumn cools and youth is cold
When limbs their heavy harvest hold
Then through us, warm, the Christ will move
With gifts of beauty, wisdom, love

As winter comes, as winters must
We breathe our last, return to dust
Still held in Christ, our souls take wing
And trust the promise of the spring

Christ, holy Vine, Christ living Tree
Be praised for this blest mystery
That word and water thus revive
And join us to your Tree of Life
