Sometimes a Light Surprises
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #352 (2024) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1. Sometimes a light surprises
Believers while they sing;
Is 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,
E'en let th'unknown to 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 is not fed,
And he who feeds the ravens
Will give his children bread.
4. The vine, nor fig tree neither,
Their wonted fruit should bear,
Tho' all the fields 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: Ordinary Time Week 28 Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Languages: English Tune Title: BENTLEY

Come unto me, ye weary
Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #361 (1899) Lyrics: 1 "Come unto me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest."
Oh, blessed voice of Jesus
Which comes to hearts opprest;
It tells of benediction,
Of pardon, grace, and peace,
Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love which cannot cease.
2 "Come unto me, dear children,
And I will give you light."
Oh, loving voice of Jesus,
Which comes to cheer the night:
Our hearts were filled with sadness,
And we had lost our way,
But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day.
3 "Come unto me, ye fainting,
And I will give you life."
Oh, peaceful voice of Jesus,
Which comes to end our strife;
The foe is stern and eager,
The fight is fierce and long;
But Thou hast made me mighty,
And stronger than the strong.
4 "And whosoever cometh
I will not cast Him out."
Oh, patient voice of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt:
Which calls us,--very sinners,
Unworthy though we be
Of love so free and boundless,--
To come, dear Lord, to Thee.

Come unto Me, ye weary
Sometimes a Light Surprises
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Hymnbook #418 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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.
