Summer Beauty
The
loveliness that I behold
So far beyond compare ,
The
joy I feel within my soul
Tells me my Savior’s near .
I see Him in red roses
That bloom along the vine .
I
feel Him in the gentle wind
That
sweeps the Summer pines .
The
sky enfolds me like a glove
Of magic azure blue ,
And
I’m reminded that His love
Surrounds me this way , too !
A
rolling carpet of green grass
Backs up this breathless view ,
And
I know for me that Heaven
Will be in colors of this hue .
As
the sun slips slowly out of sight
In its southerly direction ,
I
want to whisper , “Please don’t go ,
Don’t
end this day’s perfection .”

Guide
me in Your truth and teach
me
, for You are God my Savior ,
for
You I await all the long day ,
because
of Your goodness , Lord
