Ps.24:1
The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.
Dawn bursts through gates of summer day, and what does its first light unveil?
A fresh and burgeoning buffet of summer-beauty, fleet and frail...
A world of summer-wonder waits to woo replies of awed applause
Before its blitz of blooms abates, let's feast our eyes on God because
The earth and its fulness thereof belongs to Him, yet He delights
In overflowing founts of love with a trove of scents, sounds and sights
Dawn bursts through gates of summer day, and what does its first light unveil?
A fresh and burgeoning buffet of summer-beauty, fleet and frail
Beckoning us to slow our stride while hastening from here to there
To open eyes, ears and hearts wide to handiwork beyond compare
...because the world of summer soon slips from earth's sill dust and dew
Its blue and yellow afternoon fades and loses its petals too
So, as dawn flings ajar yon gates, let's walk slow enough to be awed
Where summer's world of wonder waits for us to feast our eyes on God
