They are happy who obey. 5 Be it ours then while we’re here, Him to follow without fear! Where He calls us, there to go, What He bids us, that to do. Used With Tune: WEBER

Content, whatever lot I see, Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. 4 And when my task on earth is done, When, by Thy grace, the victory's won, E'ev death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

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! When death itself draws nigh, To Thy dear wounded side I would for refuge fly. Leaning on Thee, to go Where Thou before hast gone. The rest as Thou shalt please; My Lord, Thy will be done! 5 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee. Thus to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done! Used With Tune: JEWETT

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper Appears in 407 hymnals Topics: Christians Blessedness of; Consolation; Hope; Joy; Trials Blessings of; Trust In Providence; Trust In Providence 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 an unknown to-morrow 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 neither vine nor fig-tree Its wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields 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. Amen. Used With Tune: EVARTS
