Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 4:2 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 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.

The watchers on the mountain proclaim the Bridegroom near; go meet him as he cometh, with alleluias clear. 3 Ye saints, who here in patience your cross and suff'rings bore, shall live and reign forever, when sorrow is no more: around the throne of glory the Lamb ye shall behold, in triumph cast before him your diadems of gold. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; arise, thou sun so longed for, o'er this benighted sphere. With hearts and hands uplifted, we plead, O Lord to see the day of earth's redemption that brings us unto thee.
