HE WHO FEEDS THE RAVENS
A G#/E F#m D A E
Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings;
F#m D A
It is the Lord who rises with healing on His wings;
A G#/E F#m D A E
When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again
F#m D A E A
A 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!
Bm D A E
It can bring with it nothing, but He will bear us through;
Bm D A E
Who gives the lilies clothing, will clothe His people too;
Bm D A E
Beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed;
Bm D A E A
And He who feeds the ravens will give His children bread.
