Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: TH1990 #621 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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.

I Waited for the Lord Most High

Hymnal: TH1990 #622 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I waited for the Lord Most High, and he inclined to hear my cry; he took me from destruction's pit and from the miry clay; upon a rock he set my feet, and steadfast made my way. 2 A new and joyful song of praise he taught my thankful heart to raise; and many, seeing me restored, shall fear the Lord and trust; and blest are they that trust the Lord, the humble and the just. 3 O Lord my God, how manifold your wondrous works which I behold, and all your loving, gracious thought you have bestowed on man; to count thy mercies I have sought, but boundless is their span. 4 Before your people I confess the wonders of your righteousness; you know, O Lord, that I have made your great salvation known, your truth and faithfulness displayed, your loving-kindness shown. 5 Withhold not now your grace from me, O Lord, your mercy let me see, to me your loving-kindness show, your truth be still my stay; let them preserve me where I go, and keep me ev'ry day. 6 Let all who seek to see your face be glad and joyful in your grace; let those who your salvation love forevermore proclaim; O praise the Lord who dwells above, and magnify his name.

O Lord, by Grace Delivered

Hymnal: TH1990 #626 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Lord, by grace delivered, I now with songs extol; my foes you have not suffered to glory o'er my fall. O Lord, my God, I sought you, and you did heal and save; you, Lord, from death did ransom and keep me from the grave. 2 His holy name remember; you saints, Jehovah praise; his anger lasts a moment, his favor all our days; for sorrow, like a pilgrim, may tarry for a night, but joy the heart will gladden when dawns the morning light. 3 In prosp'rous days I boasted; unmoved I shall remain; for, Lord, by your good favor my cause you did maintain; I soon was sorely troubled, for you did hide your face; I cried to you, Jehovah, I sought Jehovah's grace. 4 What profit if I perish, if life you do not spare? Shall dust repeat your praises, shall it your truth declare? O Lord, on me have mercy, and my petition hear; that you may be my helper, in mercy, Lord, appear. 5 My grief is turned to gladness, to you my thanks I raise, who have removed my sorrow and girded me with praise; and now, no longer silent, my heart your praise will sing; O Lord, my God, forever my thanks to you I bring.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

We should never be discouraged: take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness– take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge– take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield thee; thou wilt find a solace there.
