Summertime arrives,
Days lengthen in the sun,
Warmth, joy and light
We find in the Eternal One.
Summer now it is,
Come and dance with me;
Summer now it is,
Glory my eyes do see.
We experience in winter
Days barren and gray;
We prepare then for the light
Of this summer day.
Surely we see our Lord
In this seasonal parade;
Yea, surely we see Jesus
In seasons He has made.
Sing in joy with me now,
Brother, sister and friend -
The love of our Lord Jesus
We see has no end.
Summer is but a glimpse
Of our life in eternity,
For in the New Jerusalem
As summer it will be.
Only day there will be,
No longer dark of night;
We shall live in the glory
Of the Son’s eternal light.
In the summer season
We feel this more than any other.
Rejoice then in summer sun,
My dear sister and brother.
Summer now it is,
The Son shines on you, on me;
Summer now it is,
Christ’s glory we do see.
Yea, summer is here,
A sparkling glimpse of the Son,
We celebrate eternal life and love
We know in the One.

Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father
which is in heaven.
