A Summer Sunday
Today I’ll soak myself in sun,
To store it up for colder days,
To build up light, and warmth, and ease,
To keep refreshing summer breeze.
Today will be a time to rest;
A Sunday when I feel my best,
To store up mem’ries I can keep,
So I can calmly fall asleep.
Today is not the time to fret,
But put my hope in God and let
His peace and joy come fill my heart,
To give the week a blessed start.
When winter stretches out its hand,
I’ll reach within to mem’ries deep,
And bring out light, and warmth, and sun,
And pray the Lord does with me come.
