Songs By Night

Author: Rev. M. L. Hofford Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: He giveth songs by day Lyrics: 1 He giveth songs by day; And when departing light Has shrouded all the earth in gloom, He giveth songs by night; How tender is His care, How wondrous is His love, Who blesses each with a foretaste Of heav’nly bliss above. 2 He giveth songs by day; He giveth songs by night; And hearts are cheered and tears are changed To rivers of delight; The gloom upon the earth, The darkness on the sky, Are dissipated by the light Descending from on high. 3 He giveth songs by night, As stars upon the sky, That pierce the darkness and reveal The brighter worlds on high; So shine the beams of love In sorrow’s darkest night To those who lift their eyes above To their diviner light.
