Northern wind Gentle wind You came unseen But I need not doubt You are here I close my eyes I feel your passing Invisible arms Sweeping Over mountains and plains Trees wave Flowers bow At the touch of your fingers You breathe life on creation Each morning And whisper dreams Each day’s passing Wind Northern wind You may have been the river’s cousin For in you I see her grace Winged clouds carry your feet You bring the Maker’s air Warm breath on winter’s eve You lay your cool hand On my fevered brow During summer’s heat You breathe life On my Brother Flame With your song, he burns Bright and true Northern wind Free wind Where are you going Which alley Or pathway In heaven will you take Will you bathe in sea sprays Or scale summits and hills Will you be carrying songs from the village Or prayers From children As they lay to sleep Lift them up to the Father Whose voice is heard In quiet In the stillness Of the wind Northern wind Healing wind You came from your Lofty dwelling From your window You watched Clouds sailing Each morning you greet From the east Daybreak As a new day dawns Light gives heat Hope And the wind brings chill Comfort Northern wind Healing wind Gentle Lofty Free You came unseen But still I am Certain Assured You are here
