Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 411 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

In Thee, O Lord, I hide me, Thou savest me from ill, And songs of Thy salvation My heart with rapture thrill. Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD
