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.

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.

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.

And He, who feeds the ravens,

Though vine nor fig tree neither Their wonted fruit shall 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.
I heard this hymn sung for the first time at my father's funeral in 1994 - it has since become one of my favourite hymns. I agree with the prophet Malachi that, rain or shine, poverty or plenty, we must praise the Lord.
This song I learnt in my secondary school days, even up till now I am still enjoying it. Yes, He who feeds the raven will also give His bread. Praise the Lord.
I prefer the tune, "Petition" by Franz Josef Haydn, which is what most hymnals use. The tune used here by Doane is too fast for the "holy contemplation" of this hymn.
