1 For summer and its golden hours,
Its sunny fields and fragrant bow’rs,
The budding leaves and blooming flow’rs,
We praise thee, Lord of all!

Chorus:
our Father and our King,
Thy praises we would sing;
Upon thy holy name we call,
And praise thee, Lord of all!

2 For melody of happy bird,
From forest or from garden heard,
For songs that tell thy holy Word,
We praise thee, Lord of all! [Chorus]

3 For lessons that the seasons bring,
Revolving in their endless ring,
Returning on each tireless wing,
We praise thee, Lord of all! [Chorus]
