1. We thank and praise God for the sun, For health and strength for work well done, For cooling sea and soft warm sand, For all the blessings from Thy hand. And may this be our summer hymn, Nothing is worthwhile without Him. And may this be our summer hymn, Nothing is worthwhile without Him. |
2. Midsummer time we think of John, The will of God upon him shone, Chosen in heaven to pave the way, For Christ who taught us how to pray. John's name was known before his birth, Called John the Babtist here on earth. John's name was known before his birth, Called John the Babtist here on earth. |

3. Crowd came into the dessert wild And heard John cry to all defiled: "Repent and be baptized today And let your sins be washed away! God's humble servant, here I stand, To do His will, on Jordan's strand." "God's humble servant, here I stand, To do His will, on Jordan's strand." |
4. "He comes", John said, "the world's true light, For look, I see the dove alight, A sign from God that He's the One, His holy, true and living Son." Into the world to comfort man He came to fulfil God's great plan. Into the world to comfort man He came to fulfil God's great plan. |

5. And so, as we delight to see The butterfly and bumble bee, The waving grass and perfumed flowers, The glowing sky in evening hours. So may this be our summer hymn. Nothing is worthwhile without Him. So may this be our summer hymn. Nothing is worthwhile without Him. |
