Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 4:4-7 Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
the child of God who sings;
it is the Lord who rises
with healing in his wings;
when comforts are declining,
he grants the soul again
a season of clear shining
to cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation,
we joyfully pursue
the theme of God’s salvation,
and find it ever new.
Set free from present sorrow,
we cheerfully can say:
'Now let the unknown morrow
bring with it what it may:
3 'it can bring with it nothing
but God will bear us through;
who gives the lilies clothing
will clothe his people, too;
beneath the spreading heavens
no creature but is fed,
and he who feeds the ravens
will give his children bread.'
4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither
their looked-for fruit should bear,
though all the field should wither,
nor flocks nor herds, be there,
yet, God the same abiding,
his praise shall tune my voice;
for while in him confiding
I cannot but rejoice.

and for a dwelling and a throne
chooseth the pure in heart.

may ours this blessing be:
give us a pure and lowly heart,

O'er the world's tempestuous sea;
Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but Thee,
Yet possessing every blessing,
If our God our Father be.
2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us;
All our weakness Thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before us;
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Thru the desert Thou didst go.
3 Spirit of our God, descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy;
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy;
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.

Faith
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 300 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 4:13 First Line: 'Tis by the faith of joys to come Lyrics: 1 'Tis by the faith of joys to come,
We walk through deserts dark as night;
Till we arrive at heaven, our home,

She makes the pearly gates appear;
Far into distant worlds she pries,
And brings eternal glories near.

While faith inspires a heavenly ray;
Though lions roar, and tempests blow,
And rocks and dangers fill the way. Topics: Christians Graces; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Used With Tune: DUKE STREET
