Life has many times where all is not ideal but there are rich moments when we can physically feel the presence of Jesus. In the valley of tears, rainbows appear - sent by Him. And we must enjoy them!
I love the pictures that Fanny Crosby writes, especially considering she could not, herself, see. "Ever He walketh beside me. Brightly His sunshine appears. spreading a beautiful rainbow over the valley of tears." Such a visual image of beauty!
Thank you to the wonderful listener that requested this hymn! I did not know it before this and I am blessed for having heard it.
Moments of Blessing
Verse 1
Rich are the moments of blessing
Jesus my Saviour bestows;
Pure is the well of salvation
Fresh from His mercy that flows.
Chorus
Ever He walketh beside me,
Brightly His sunshine appears,
Spreading a beautiful rainbow
Over the valley of tears.
Verse 2
Rich are the moments of blessing,
Lovely, and hallowed, and sweet,
When from my labor at noontide
Calmly I rest at His feet.
Verse 3
Why should I ever grow weary?
Why should I faint by the way?
Has He not promised to give me
Strength for the toils of the day?
Verse 4
Though by the mist and the shadow
Sometimes my sky may be dim,
Rich are the moments of blessing
Spent in communion with Him.
