Sometimes a light surprises
Appears in 411 hymnals Topics: Resignation 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 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,
Yis praise shall tune my voice;
For while in Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.

Not Now, But in the Coming Years
Author: Maxwell N. Cornelius Meter: 8.8.8.8 with chorus Appears in 110 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Resignation Refrain First Line: Then trust in God thro' all the days Lyrics: 1. Not now, but in the coming years,
It may be in the better land,
We'll read the meaning of our tears,
And there, some time, we'll understand.
Chorus:
Then trust in God thro' all the days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Some time, some time, we'll understand.
2. We'll know why clouds instead of sun
Were ever many a cherished plan;
Why song has ceased when scarce begun;
'Tis there, some time, we'll understand. [Chorus]
3. Why what we long for most of all,
Eludes so oft our eager hand;
Why hopes are crushed and castles fall,
Up there, some time, we'll understand. [Chorus]
4. God knows the way, He holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand;
Some time with tearless eyes we'll see;
Yes, there, up there, we'll understand. [Chorus]
Used With Tune: SOME TIME WE'LL UNDERSTAND
Not Now, But in the Coming Years
