Original text and translations

English text

Coming through clouds and darkness,
Coming through sleet and rain;
Beautiful month of flowers,
Hast’ning to us again;
Thought of the wintry hour,
Cheer of the darkest day;
Coming through tempest, lower,
Beautiful month of May!

Coming a morn of glory,
Coming a day of rest;
Faith sees its golden promise
Break though the clouded west;
Star of the darkest hour,
Beaming with deathless ray;
Coming through tempest, lower,
Beautiful month of May!
