Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper Appears in 409 hymnals Topics: Christians Blessedness of 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

In thee, O Lord, I hide me, thou savest me from ill, and songs of thy salvation my heart with rapture thrill. 4 I graciously will teach thee the way that thou shalt go, and with mine eye upon thee my counsel make thee know. But be ye not unruly, or slow to understand, be not perverse, but willing to heed my wise command. 5 The sorrows of the wicked in number shall abound, but those that trust Jehovah, his mercy shall surround. Then in the Lord be joyful, in song lift up your voice. Be glad in God, ye righteous, rejoice, ye saints, rejoice.
