Refrain: In the summer, blessed summer, In the summer of God’s love, Sing, my soul, in glad hosannas! For the summer of God’s love. 2 What have I to fear, though sorrows Round me like the billows roll? In the secret of his presence, He will safely keep my soul. Are there trials and temptations? I can face them with a smile, For this life will soon be over; It is such a little while. [Refrain] 3 So I’m walking in the summer Of his love, so pure and bright, Watching, waiting, looking ever For the coming of the light, Blessed light of heaven’s morning, When my Saviour’s face I’ll see, And my lips shall sing his praises Through a long eternity.

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Look aloft! the clouds are breaking]" in Sunday-School Praises William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
