Sometimes a Light Surprises
Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 409 hymnals Topics: Christian Life; God Abiding Presence of; Hope; Opening and Closing of the Year; Peace and Joy; Tribulation and Suffering; Trust and Assurance 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 should bear,
though all the field should wither,
nor flocks nor herds be there;
yet God the same abideth,
his praise shall tune my voice,
for, while in him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice. Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:4-5 Used With Tune: BENTLEY

1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our fev'rish ways!
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives Thy service find,
In deeper rev'rence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
Beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow Thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee,
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love!
4 Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our striving cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still small voice of calm!

1 Pardonne, O Dieu, les vains tourments
De nos cœurs agités.
Rends-nous plus droits, plus confiants.
Que par nos cœurs purifiés,
Tu sois mieux honoré.
2 Comme autrefois, au bord des flots
Tes premiers serviteurs,
A ton appel fais qu'aussitôt
Nous nous levions vaillants de cœur,
Pour te suivre, ô Seigneur.
3 Repos du lac galiléen
Et de ses doux sommets,
Où Jésus, priant pour les siens,
Rayonnait de l'éclat divin,
De l'amour, de la paix!
4 De ce repos profond et doux
Verse en nous les bienfaits.
Que toute lutte cesse en nous
Et que nous montrions à tous
Le beauté de ta paix.
5 De notre chair les vains désirs
Eteins en nos l'ardeur,
A tout péché fais-nous mourir,
Et que ta douce voix, Seigneur,
Parle seule en nos cœurs.

1 Vergib, O Vater, gnädiglich,
Dass wir so gar verkehrt!
Bring uns zurecht! Was hindert, brich;
Dass unser ganzes Leben dich
In Wahrheit preist und ehrt!
2 Vertrauend, wie die Jünger dort
Am See Genezareth,
Lass stracks uns folgen deinem Wort,
Wenn du uns rufst, du unser Hort,
Wohin dein Weg auch geht!
3 O Sabbatruhe, hehr und gross
Auf jener Hügel Kranz,
Da er, der kam aus deinem Schoss,
Sich im Gebete dir ergoss,
Verklärt von deinem Glanz!
4 Von solcher Ruhe, Herr, verleih
Auch uns, was uns gebricht,
Bis – ganz von Müh' und Irrtum frei –
All unser Tun ein Spiegel sei
Von deines Friedens Licht!
5 Der Wünsche ungestüme Glut,
Die wechselnde Begier,
Herr, dämpfe du; stürmt Fleisch und Blut,
Dann züg'le du den wilden Mut,
Sprich: Friede sei mit dir!

O may thy will be mine;
into thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow, or through joy,
conduct me as thine own;
and help me still to say,
"My Lord, thy will be done."
2 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
give me thy people's bread,
their portion rich and sure.
The manna of thy Word
let my soul feed upon;
and if all else should fail,
my Lord, thy will be done.
3 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
let not my star of hope
grow dim or disappear.
Since thou on earth hast wept,
and sorrowed oft alone,
if I must weep with thee,
my Lord, thy will be done.
4 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
each changing future scene
I gladly trust with thee.
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
and sing, in life or death,
"My Lord, thy will be done."

Who from his altar call;
Extol the Stem-of-Jesse's rod,

And crown him Lord of all.

Ye ransomed of the fall,
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him him Lord of all.

The wormwood and the gall,
Go, spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him Lord of all.
5 Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him Lord of all.

We at his feet may fall;
We'll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all. Used With Tune: CORONATION

That bids our sorrows cease,
'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life and health and peace.
4 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His Blood can make the foulest clean,
His Blood availed for me.
5 He speaks, and, listening to his voice,
New life the dead receive,
The mournful broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
6 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
And leap, ye lame, for joy.
7 Glory to God, and praise, and love
Be ever, ever given
By saints below and saints above,
The Church in earth and heaven.
Amen.
