HYMN 148

D7S6S
"Sun of righteousness arise with 
healing in this wings" - Mal. 4:2



1.  SOMETIMES a light surprises 

     The Christians 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.  ln holy contemplation 

     We sweetly then pursue

     The theme of God's salvation, 

     And find it ever never

     Set free from present sorrow, 

     We cheerfully can say,

     E’en let the unknown to-morrow

     Bring with it what it may.


3.  lt can bring with it nothing 

     But He will hear us through 

     Who gives the lilies clothing 

     Will clothes 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 wanted 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.  Amen
