Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Together in Song #128 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Adversity Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the child of God who 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 joyfully pursue the theme of God’s salvation, and find it ever new. Set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say: 'Now let the unknown morrow bring with it what it may: 3 'it can bring with it nothing but God 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 looked-for fruit should 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.

Peace Comes Crying (A Lament)

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #187 Meter: 7.5.7.5 D Topics: Adversity First Line: Peace comes crying through the world Lyrics: 1 Peace comes crying through the world, crying for her life, gunfire shatters silent skies, powers plot her grief; childrens' children march to war, wear the badge of death - peace comes crying through the world, crying for her life. 2 Violence is all we know, all we see and hear, terror strikes and stains the earth hand in hand with fear, children cradled as they die, bloodied face of war, violence is all we know all we see and hear. 3 Let your passion pierce our hearts, halt us in this storm, God whose weaponry is love, arms that will disarm! Never let the evil win, drag us to its norm, let your passion pierce our hearts, halt us in this storm! 4 Peace comes calling at our door, justice is her claim, When the fruits of peace are shared, hope and history rhyme; never let this hope be lost! Hell has had its time; peace comes calling at our door, justice is her claim. Scripture: Luke 19:41-42 Languages: English Tune Title: ROMATA
