O the Flowers of Summer

Author: J. Barker Hymnal: The Service of Praise #77 (1900) First Line: O the flow’rs of summer Refrain First Line: Flow’rs of summer Lyrics: 1 O the flow’rs of summer, Flow’rs of ev’ry hue, Take each one as coming, Straight from God to you; Telling wondrous secrets Of his pow’r and love, Wearing still the brightness Of the home above. Refrain: Flow’rs of summer Angel like are they: Hear the message which they bring today, HE who curbs the ocean’s mighty pow’r, Painted ev’ry leaf and flow’r. 2 Just as earth’s creation Show’d the might of God, So does ev’ryflow’ret Springing from the sod. He who guides the star worlds, Curbs the ocean’s pow’r, With the same hand painteth Ev’ry leaf and flow’r. [Refrain] 3 Touch these sweet flow’rs gently, So divinely dress’d, They are, in earth’s language Thoughts of God express’d. Thoughts of heav’nly glory— Sweetness, purity, Must not he who fram’d them Wholly lovely be? [Refrain] 4 Praise him then with singing, Tell his love abroad; Be the whole earth ringing With the name of God. Lakes and hills be telling— Sunset skies and flow’rs Something of the beauty Of this God of ours. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O the flow’rs of summer]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Composer of "[O the flow’rs of summer]" in The Service of Praise Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years.

He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912).
