Author: William Walsham How (1823-1897) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #225 (2005) 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, still be nigh.
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: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; Death and Bereavement; Light; Providence; Summer Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:23 Languages: English Tune Title: RUTH
