The Summer Time
Author: W. H. Flaville Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #32 (1885) First Line: O come unto the Saviour, for why will you delay Refrain First Line: O come, sinner, come! for thy sands are running fast Lyrics: 1 O come unto the Saviour, for why will you delay?
The Spirit now invites you, O do not turn away;
The door is open now, but it will be closed at last,
For the summer will be ended, and the harvest will be past.
Chorus:
O come, sinner, come! for thy sands are running fast;
Soon the summer will be ended, and the harvest will be past.
2 O come unto the Saviour, He’s merciful and true,
A full and free salvation, He kindly offers you;
O come while yet you may, or you’ll find it true at last
That the summer time is ended, and the harvest time is past. [Chorus]
3 O come unto the Saviour, the night is coming on,
There’s danger in delaying, for the Spirit may be gone;
He’s waiting to release you from the chains that sin has cast,
Ere the summer time is ended, and the harvest time is past. [Chorus]
4 O come unto the Saviour, nor let Him plead in vain,
There is a crown of glory, and eternal life to gain;
His offers now accept, ere the sky is overcast,
Or the summer time is ended, and the harvest time is past. [Chorus]

================
The 1880 US Census lists William Flaville as living in Chester, Pennsylvania, married with two sons, and an occupation as Surveyor.
William Flaville is listed in the Chester City Directory of 1891-92 as a civil engineer and as a member of the school board. He is also listed in the history of Delaware County as a Chester City surveyor.
Based on a 1951 biographical sketch of William Flaville’s grandson, Chester F. Baker, who followed his footsteps as Chester city surveyor, William was a schoolteacher as well as a surveyor. An account is told that William was in love with a young lady, but her father refused to let them marry, because he did not think a teacher’s salary was sufficient support. The night of the refusal her father saw William kneeling in the snow praying in the moonlight, and relented.
These accounts lend evidence that William was a man of faith and an educated man who could have produced the text of “Weary Not” as an expression of the heart although not a prolific or professional writer. The work is known to have been published in 1878 or 1879, when he was about 50 years of age. Nine known hymn texts are attributed to William H. Flaville, although “Weary Not” is believed to be the best known.
William’s motivating hymn text, written over 130 years ago, still resonates with readers and singers today.
