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.
