| Songs In The Night |
| While thumbing through a book of Christian quotes and anecdotes, I came upon the following statement: “Some of the sweetest songs have been wrung out of life’s bitterest trials. Many a song that is sung in the sunlight was composed in the darkest night watches” (JBN). |
| It brought to mind a hymn we used to sing, the first verse and chorus of which, is as follows: |
| What though the way be lonely |
| And dark the shadows fall; |
| I know where’er it leadeth, |
| My Father planned it all. |
| Chorus: |
| I sing through the shade and the sunshine, |
| I’ll trust Him whatever befall; |
| I sing for I cannot be silent — |
| My Father planned it all. |
| It also brought to mind a couple of verses from the Psalms: “In the night His song shall be with me” (Psalm 42:8). “I call to remembrance my song in the night” (Psalm 77:6). How good it is for us to learn to sing and give thanks no matter what the circumstance. |
