Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 3:19-26 Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the child of God who 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 joyfully pursue the theme of God’s salvation, and find it ever new. Set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say: 'Now let the unknown morrow bring with it what it may: 3 'it can bring with it nothing but God 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 looked-for 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.

We read you in the sky above, we read you in the earth below, in seas that swell and streams that flow. 4 We read you in the flowers, the trees, the freshness of the fragrant breeze, the song of birds upon the wing, the joy of summer and of spring. 5 We read you best in him who came to bear for us the cross of shame, sent by the Father from on high, our life to live, our death to die. 6 We read your power to bless and save even in the darkness of the grave; still more in resurrection light we read the fullness of your might. 7 O love of God, our shield and stay through all the perils of our way; eternal love, in you we rest, forever safe, forever blest.
