Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 409 hymnals 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,
Even let the 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 vine nor fig-tree neither
Their wonted fruit shall bear.
Though all the field 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. Topics: The Christian Life Comfort and Sympathy; Trust, in God ; Providence Used With Tune: PETITION

My God, My Portion, and My Love
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 253 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, my portion, and my love,
My everlasting all!
I’ve none but Thee in Heav’n above,
Or on this earthly ball.
2. What empty things are all the skies,
And this inferior clod!
There’s nothing here deserves my joys,
There’s nothing like my God.
3. In vain the bright, the burning sun
Scatters his feeble light;
’Tis Thy sweet beams create my noon;
If Thou withdraw, ’tis night.
4. And whilst upon my restless bed,
Amongst the shades I roll,
If my Redeemer shows His head,
’Tis morning with my soul.
5. To Thee we owe our wealth, and friends,
And health, and safe abode:
Thanks to Thy name for meaner things,
But they are not my God.
6. How vain a toy is glitt’ring wealth,
If once compared to Thee!
Or what’s my safety, or my health,
Or all my friends to me?
7. Were I possessor of the earth,
And called the stars my own,
Without Thy graces and Thyself
I were a wretch undone.
8. Let others stretch their arms like seas
And grasp in all the shore,
Grant me the visits of Thy face,
And I desire no more. Used With Tune: OLAF Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Where perfect praises ring;
And evermore confess Thee,
Our Savior and our King. Topics: Jesus Christ Savior Used With Tune: PETITION
