Hymns: Sometimes A Light Surprises - Tekst piosenki

Sometimes a light surprisesThe Hymns while he sings;It is the Lord who risesWith healing in His wings;When comforts are declining,He grants the soul againA season of clear shining,To cheer it after rain. In holy contemplationWe sweetly then pursueThe theme of God's salvation,And find it ever new;Set free from present sorrow,We cheerfully can say-E'en let the unknown morrowBring with it what it may. 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 heavensNo creature but is fed;And He, who feeds the ravens,Will give His children bread. Though vine nor fig tree neitherTheir wonted fruit shall bear;Though all the fields should witherNor 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.
