Sometimes a Light Surprises
Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 408 hymnals Topics: Assurance of Grace 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. Scripture: Psalm 30:4-5 Used With Tune: SALLY GARDENS Text Sources: Olney Hymns, Book III, 1779, alt.

And mix my portion with Thy peace!
Come, and for ever dwell in me,

Then shall my praise eternal be
To the eternal Trinity! Used With Tune: ANDERNACH

Christ, Of Holiness The Fountain
Author: H. Brueckner; Bartholomaeus Crasselius Meter: Irregular Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer First Line: Christ, of holiness the Fountain! Lyrics: 1 Christ, of holiness the Fountain!
As crystal waters from the mountain,
So doth Thy cleansing grace descend.
All the cherubim in glory,
And seraphim of sacred story,
Compared to Thee no brightness lend.
Thou my example be
And mold me after Thee,
Blessed Savior!
O Jesus true, help me to do
Thy holy will each day anew.
2 Christ, submissive, unrebelling,
And in Thy Father's will e'er dwelling,
Obeying Him thro'out Thy life,--
Even so, in fullest measure,
Would I perform Thy will and pleasure
And overcome all inner strife.
May I submissive be,
That, modeled after Thee,
O my Savior,
God's will I do each day anew,
While I my duty's path pursue.
3 Christ, all gentleness possessing,
And patient e'er in woes distressing,
No vengeance wreaking on the foe,
Thou wast meek, tho' zealous ever,
And all Thy zeal impelled Thee never
Beyond the rightful bounds to go.
My Savior, help Thou me
A gentle soul to be.
Blessed Jesus,
My heart imbue with meekness true.
Yet ev'ry day my zeal renew.
4 Christ, O Son of God most holy,
Thou didst become a servant lowly,
No honors seeking of Thine own.
In humility transcending,
To lowly service gladly bending,
No haughty mien of Thine is known.
Lord Jesus, help Thou me
To pattern after Thee,
Who art lowly,
Let me each day pursue Thy way,
And make me humble, Lord, I pray.
5 Make me then, O dearest Savior,
Thine image in my whole behavior,
That I Thy holiness may share.
Let Thy Spirit, Lord, pervade me
And by His inner promptings aid me
The noble fruits of faith to bear.
Lord Jesus, draw Thou me
E'er nearer unto Thee;
O my Savior,
With all things best may I be blest,
And where Thou art find perfect rest.

to all that cry thou dost all help accord,
the angels' armour, and the saints' reward.

there is no truth save only in thy trust;
thou dost the mind from earthly dreams recall,
and bring, through Christ, to him for whom are all.

who art and shalt be worshipped evermore:
us whom thou madest, comfort with thy might,
and lead us to enjoy thy heav'nly light. Used With Tune: SONG 22 Text Sources: 12th century
