Summer Suns Are Glowing

Summer suns are glowing over land and sea; Happy light is flowing, bountiful and free; Everything rejoices in the mellow rays; Earths ten thousand voices swell the psalm of praise.

Gods free mercy streameth over all the world, And His banner gleameth, by His church unfurled; Broad and deep and glorious, as the heaven above, Shines in might victorious His eternal love.

Lord, upon our blindness Thy pure radiance pour; For Thy lovingkindness we would love Thee more; And when clouds are drifting dark across the sky, Then, the veil uplifting, Father, be Thou nigh.

We will never doubt Thee, though Thou veil Thy light; Life is dark without Thee, death with Thee is bright; Light of light, shine oer us on our pilgrim way; Go Thou still before us to the endless day.
