Caedmon`s Call Sometimes A Light Surprises Lyrics

Sometimes A Light Surprises Lyrics

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 is after rain

 

 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue

 The theme of Gods 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

 

 Tomorrow can bring us 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

 

 Though vine nor fig-tree neither,

 Their wonted fruit should bear

 Though all the fields should wither,

 Nor flocks or herds be there

 Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice

 For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice!

 For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice!
