Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Common Praise #572 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 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, 'E'en let the unknown 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 vine nor fig-tree neither their wonted fruit should bear, though 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.

We hail thy presence glorious

Author: Richard Godfrey Parsons, 1882-1948 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #626 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 We hail thy presence glorious, O Christ our great High Priest, o'er sin and death victorious, at thy thanksgiving feast: as thou art interceding for us in heaven above, thy church on earth is pleading thy perfect work of love. 2 Through thee in every nation thine own their hearts upraise, offering one pure oblation, one sacrifice of praise: with thee in blest communion the living and the dead are joined in closest union, one Body and one Head. 3 O living bread from heaven, Jesu, our Saviour good, who thine own self hast given to be our souls' true food; for us thy body broken hung on the cross of shame: this bread its hallowed token, we break in thy dear name. *4 O stream of love unending, poured from the one true vine, with our weak nature blending the strength of life divine; our thankful faith confessing in thy life-blood outpoured, we drink this cup of blessing and praise thy name, O Lord. 5 May we thy word believing, thee through thy gifts receive, that, thou within us living, we all to God may live; draw us from earth to heaven till sin and sorrow cease, forgiving and forgiven, in love and joy and peace.

O Father, We Would Thank Thee

Author: Ada R. Greenaway Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4830 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1. O Father, we would thank Thee For all Thy love has given, Our present joy of sonship, Our future joy in Heaven; The life which sin had blighted So wondrously restored By our mysterious union With Jesus Christ our Lord. 2. Rich gifts of life and gladness— A new and heav’nly birth, Baptismal waters flowing To cleanse the sons of earth; The strength in which to follow The steps that Jesus trod; And love beyond all knowledge Which calls us sons of God. 3. O mercy all abundant Bestowed on us today! O hope of future glory Which fadeth not away! By God’s great love begotten To living hope and sure, May we at Christ’s appearing Be pure as He is pure. 4. For all Thy gifts, O Father, Our hymns of praise arise— The love which calls us children, The hope which purifies; The grace by which we offer A service glad and free; The earnest of perfection, Of fuller life with Thee.
