Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 6:28 Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings; it is the Lord, who rises eith 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, e'en let the unknown 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; Aad he who feeds the ravens will give his children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither their wonted fruit should 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.

I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And that now is seldom found. 4 When with sorrow I am stricken, Hope anew my heart will quicken; All my longing shall be stilled. To His loving-kindness tender Soul and body I surrender, For on God alone I build. 5 Well He knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt His wisdom never; As God wills, so be it ever; I commit to Him my way. 6 If my days on earth He lengthen, God my weary soul will strengthen; All my trust in Him I place.
