Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #49 (2004) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 Summer suns are glowing
over land and sea,
happy light is flowing
bountiful and free;
everything rejoices
in the mellow rays,
all earth's thousand voices
swell the psalm of praise.
2 See God's mercy streaming
over all the world,
and His banner gleaming
everywhere unfurled.
Broad and deep and glorious
as the heaven above,
shines in might victorious
His eternal love.
3 Lord, upon our blindness
Your pure radiance pour;
for Your loving-kindness
make us love You more.
And when clouds are drifting
dark across the sky,
then, the veil uplifting,
Father, be close by.
4 We will never doubt You,
though You veil Your light;
life is dark without You,
death with You is bright.
Light of light, shine o'er us
on our pilgrim way;
still go on before us
to the endless day. Topics: Creation Seasons of the Year Languages: English Tune Title: RUTH
