Summer

The long

long days of sum­mer

The sun­ny days are here;

The rip­en­ing grain is bend­ing

The air is soft and clear.

O God

Thy ten­der mer­cies

Like ev­en­ing dews des­cend;

Thou giv­est rain and sun­shine

On Thee our hopes de­pend.

The glow­ing heat at noon­tide

The hush of ev­en­ing’s calm

Remind us of Thy pre­sence

To Thee we raise our psalm.

In life’s fair sum­mer wea­ther

Oh

may we look to Thee;

And when the storms o’er­take us

Our re­fuge Thou shalt be.
