Summer suns are glowing

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
