The Summer Song

Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: The Service of Praise #86 (1900) First Line: Buds and blossoms sing the summer song Refrain First Line: Praise the Lord, praise the Lord Lyrics: 1 Buds and blossoms sing the summer song, Balmy breezes bear their breath along; Woodland warblers trill their carols sweet, Merry streams the joy repeat. We’ll join the singing, Hosannas ringing Our tribute bringing To God above. We sing the story, Our Father’s glory, Love’s precious story—Love. Refrain: Praise the Lord, praise the Lord! Love watches o’er us, Join in the beautiful chorus; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord! Sing happy praises, And wake the hallelujah chord. 2 Nature’s voices sing the summer song, Birds and brooklets, ocean billows strong; All around us proves his faithful care, Tell his love in grateful prayer. Our hearts are blending, In thanks ascending, A song unending To God above. With pure devotion, With glad emotion, Sing with devotion Love.
