Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings;
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
It is the Lord who rises with healing on His wings;
A augmentedA Ab/E F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
A majorA season of clear shining, to cheer it after the rain.
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,
Even let the unknown morrow bring with it what it may!
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
It can bring with it nothing, but He will bear us through;
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
Who gives the lilies clothing, will clothe His people too;
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
Beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed;
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
And He who feeds the ravens will give His children bread.
