'Twixt Gleams of Joy and Clouds of Doubt
Author: John C. Shairp Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7000 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. ’Twixt gleams of joy and clouds of doubt
our feelings come and go;
Our daily state is tossed about
in ceaseless ebb and flow.
No mood of feeling, form of thought,
is constant for a day;
But Thou, O Lord, Thou changest not,
the same Thou art alway.
2. Out of the weak, unquiet drift
that comes but to depart,
To that pure heaven my spirit lift
where Thou unchanging art.
Lay hold of me with Thy strong grasp,
let Thine almighty arm
In its embrace my weakness clasp,
and I shall fear no harm.
3. Thy purpose of eternal good
let me but surely know,
On this I’ll lean—let changing mood
and feeling come or go
Glad when Thy sunshine fills my soul,
nor sad when clouds overcast,
Since Thou within Thy sure control
of love dost hold me fast. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LEONARD (Hiles)

Twixt gleams of joy and clouds of doubt. [God the Unchangeable.] Appeared in his Glen Desseray and other Poems, 1888, p. 265, and marked as having been written in 1871. It is in several collections, especially in America (e.g. The Pilgrim Hymnal, 1904). Also in Horder's Worship Song, 1905. The cento, "Let me no more my comfort draw," in Sursum Corda, 1898, is from this hymn.

U. C. Burnap
1834 - 1900 Composer of "AMESBURY" in The Hymnal of Praise Burnap ran a dry goods business in Brooklyn, though he graduated from the University of Paris with a music degree, and for 37 years played the organ at the Reformed Church in Brooklyn Heights. He was a prolific composer, and helped edit the following:
Hymns of the Church, 1869
Hymns of Prayer and Praise, 1871
Hymns and Songs of Praise, 1874
--The Cyber Hymnal™
There is uncertainty about his middle name. Reynolds and the Library of Congress say it was Christopher. A contemporary obituary relied on by "The Cyber Hymnal™" says it was Cicero. It appears that there was another Uzziah C[icero] Burnap who lived (per LOC) 1794-1854.
