Lyrics
Summer suns are glowing
Over land and sea;
Happy light is flowing,
Bountiful and free;
Ev'rything rejoices
In the mellow rays;
All earth's thousand voices
Swell the psalm of praise.
God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world,
And His banner gleameth,
Ev'rywhere unfurl'd;
Broad and deep and glorious
As the heav'n 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 Thou nigh.
We will never doubt Thee,
Tho' 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.
Amen.
Over land and sea;
Happy light is flowing,
Bountiful and free;

In the mellow rays;
All earth's thousand voices
Swell the psalm of praise.
God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world,
And His banner gleameth,
Ev'rywhere unfurl'd;
Broad and deep and glorious
As the heav'n 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 Thou nigh.
We will never doubt Thee,
Tho' 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.
Amen.
