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 paslm of praise.
God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world,
And his banner gleameth
Everywhere 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 loving kindness
Make us love thee more
And when clouds are drifting
Dark across our sky,
Then the veil uplifting,
Father, be though 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 o'er us
On our pilgrim way;
Go thou still before us
To the endless day.
(William Walsham How )
