Beneath a Blanket of Snow

The land lies beneath a blanket of snow The river is frozen and does not flow The leaves have fallen and the trees are bare Winter is dressed like a maiden so fair The land lies beneath a blanket of snow Its beauty and fairness blossom and grow And yet there's sadness and grief in the air Sadness is dressed like a maiden so fair The past lies beneath a blanket of snow It's frozen but still there, and does not flow The past is now gone, but memories are there The past is dressed like a maiden so fair My heart lies beneath a blanket of snow My tears are frozen and do not flow My grief is silenced and my mind is bare Sorrow is dressed like a maiden so fair My heart lies beneath a blanket of snow My soul is frozen but Jesus knows He knows my sorrows and His hand is there His hand guides me when my feelings are bare My life lies beneath the great Tree that glows On that Tree, my Saviour's blood streams and flows My sins have fallen for my sins He bears The Tree is dressed like a maiden so fair My life lies beneath the great Throne that glows From that Throne, the River of life flows Jesus sits enthroned and white robes He wears Joy is mine for in His Kingdom I share
