Thine eyes did all my limbs survey, Which yet in dark confusion lay; Thou saw'st the daily growth they took, Formed by the model of thy book. By thee my growing parts were named, And what thy sovereign counsels framed- The breathing lungs, the beating heart- Was copied with unerring art. At last, to show my Maker's name, God stamped his image on my frame, And in some unknown moment joined The finished members to the mind. There the young seeds of thought began, And all the passions of the man: Great God, our infant nature pays Immortal tribute to thy praise. Lord, since in my advancing age I've acted on life's busy stage, Thy thoughts of love to me surmount The power of numbers to recount. I could survey the ocean o'er, And count each sand that makes the shore, Before my swiftest thoughts could trace The num'rous wonders of thy grace. These on my heart are still impressed, With these I give my eyes to rest; And at my waking hour I find God and his love possess my mind. Scripture: Psalm 139

Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 409 hymnals Topics: Assurance of Grace; Courage; Faith; God Faithfulness of; Healing Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the child of God who sings: the light of one who rises with gentle, healing wings. When comforts are declining, God grants the soul again a season of clear shining, to cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation with joy we shall pursue the theme of God’s salvation, and find it ever new. Set free from present sorrow we cheerfully can say, let the unknown tomorrow 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 the people, too. Beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed: the one who feeds the ravens will give the children bread. 4 Though vine and fig tree neither their yearly fruit should bear, though all the fields should wither, nor flocks nor herds be there, yet God, the same abiding, through praise shall tune my voice, for while in love confiding I cannot but rejoice.
