Lo, Summer Comes Again!

Author: Edward H. Plumptre Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11996 Meter: 12.10.12.10 First Line: Lo, summer comes again! And after springtide rain Lyrics: 1 Lo, summer comes again! And after springtide rain, The quickening sunbeams flood the world with light; See, high in night’s clear skies, the joy of longing eyes, The moon of harvest shines serenely bright. 2 O Lord of Heav’n and earth, who givest joy and mirth, Open our lips to show Thy wondrous praise; Our hearts are dull and cold, we leave Thy love untold; O give us strength our anthems glad to raise. 3 Each month we sow or reap, each hour we toil or sleep, Thou givest life and joy, and Thou alone; O grant to each and all when death’s dark shadows fall, To stand true workers round our Master’s throne. 4 So, life’s long task-work o’er, set free for evermore, We shall sit down at Thy great harvest feast; Reaper and sower met, the burning heat forget, And taste God’s love, the greatest as the least. 5 Yea, Lord, Thou too dost claim, the Sower’s mystic name; Thou sendest forth Thy reapers to their field; O be it theirs to bear the full corn in the ear, When Thy true seed its hundred-fold shall yield. 6 Root out the evil tares, earth’s vexing griefs and cares, Bind the hot blasts that wither and destroy; And when the hour is come to bring the full sheaves home, Bid men and angels share Thy harvest joy.
