Ecclesiastes 11:7-8

• [Ecc 11:7] Summer Suns Are Glowing

  Summer suns are glowing over land and sea; Happy light is flowing, bountiful and free; Everything rejoices in the mellow rays; Earth’s ten thousand voices swell the psalm of praise. God’s free mercy streameth over all the world, And His banner gleameth, by His church unfurled; Broad and deep and glorious, as the heaven above, Shines in might victorious His eternal love. Lord, upon our blindness Thy pure radiance pour; For Thy lovingkindness we would love Thee more; And when clouds are drifting dark across the 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.

• [Ecc 11:7] Sweet Is The Sunlight After Rain

  Sweet is the sunlight after rain, And sweet the sleep which follows pain; And sweetly steals the Sabbath rest Upon the world’s work-wearied breast. Of Heaven the sign, of earth, the calm; The poor man’s birthright and his balm; God’s witness of celestial thing; A sun with healing in its wings. New rising in this gospel time, And in its sevenfold light sublime, Blest day of God! we hail its dawn, To gratitude and worship drawn. O naught of gloom and naught of pride Should with the sacred hours abide; At work for God, in loved employ, We lose the duty in the joy. Breathe on us, Lord! our sins forgive, And make us strong in faith to live; Our utmost, sorest need supply, And make us strong in faith to die.
