Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 409 hymnals Topics: Adversity 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. Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17 Used With Tune: PETITION

Their gospel of redemption, sin pardoned, earth restored, was all in this enfolded: one church, one faith, one Lord. 4 Your mercy will not fail us, nor leave your work undone; with your right hand to help us the victory shall be won; and then by all creation your name shall be adored, and this shall be our anthem: one church, one faith, one Lord.
