Perusal score

A NEW HYMN TUNE AND ARRANGEMENT FOR SATB CHOIR AND ORGAN.

"Summer Suns Are Glowing" was created by Paul Halley for a hymn festival and competition whereby all entrants were provided the same text, words by Bishop W. Walsham Howe. Halley's offering combines a lyrical melody and lush harmonies which evoke the golden warmth and bounty of summer. A suitable hymn-anthem for choral worship services all summer long.

    Summer Suns Are Glowing 
    Words: Bishop W. Walsham How

    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 unfurled.
    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,
    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.
