Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: TH1990 #621 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Tune Title: BENTLEY Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he 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 sweetly then 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 he 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 wonted fruit shall 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.

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Hymnal: TH1990 #40 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Tune Title: BETHLEHEM (FINK) Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, our ever-present aid, and therefore though the earth remove, we will not be afraid; though hills amidst the seas be cast, though foaming waters roar, yea, though the mighty billows shake the mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad the city of our God, the holy place wherein the Lord Most High has his abode. Since God is in the midst of her, unmoved her walls shall stand, for God will be her early help, when trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, but when his voice was heard, the troubled earth was stilled to peace before his mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, our safety to secure; the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; come, see what desolation great he on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth he causes war to cease; the weapons of the strong destroyed, he makes abiding peace. 5 "Be still and know that I am God, o'er all exalted high; the subject nations of the earth my name shall magnify." The Lord of Hosts is on our side, our safety to secure, the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure.

How Bright These Glorious Spirits Shine!

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: TH1990 #544 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Tune Title: BETHLEHEM (FINK) First Line: How bright these glorious spirits shine Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats of everlasting day? Lo! these are they from suff'rings great who came to realms of light! and in the blood of Christ have washed those robes which shine so bright. 2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand before the throne on high, and serve the God they love, amidst the glories of the sky. His presence fills each heart with joy, tunes ev'ry mouth to sing: by day, by night, the sacred courts with glad hosannas ring. 3 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, nor suns with scorching ray; God is their sun, whose cheering beams diffuse eternal day. The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne shall o'er them still preside, feed them with nourishment divine, and all their footsteps guide. 4 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock where living streams appear; and God the Lord from ev'ry eye shall wipe off ev'ry tear. To him who sits upon the throne, the God whom we adore, and to the Lamb that once was slain, be glory evermore!
