The Voice of Praise ‎#226

226. Beautiful Summer

1 Beautiful summer, radiant summer,
Stepping so lightly o'er meadow and plain;
Scattering showers, bringing the flowers,
Filling the world with a joyous refrain.

Chorus:
Summer, lovely summer,
Summer, radiant summer,
Sunshine now is gleaming along the flow'ry way;
Come with rejoicing, glad praises voicing,
Unto God the Father, whose love fills each day.

2 Cheerily singing, merrily singing,
Birds in the treetops their happiness tell;
Sunlight is falling, wind voices calling,
Chorals of praise ring from mountain and dell. [Chorus]

3 Beautiful summer, radiant summer,
Nature is smiling, O let us be gay!
Ev'rywhere gladness, drives away sadness,
Blessings untold crown the dear children's Day. [Chorus]
