I think it would be appropriate for us to, even in the middle of summer to sing the words of that great Christmas carol, "Joy to the Word":
Joy to the world! The Lord is come: Let earth receiver her King;
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room, And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and nature sing, And heav'n, and heav'n and nature sing.
Joy to the world! The Saviour reigns: Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
