Songs in the Night

"No one says, 'Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night.” [Job 35:10]

Note: This sermon is one of Charles Spurgeon's most famous sermons. It offers a good example of the kind of motivational exhortation that preachers ought to aspire to in their sermons. Most of all, Spurgeon shows us passion. He clearly cares about what he is saying and he will press it upon the listener.

Man, too, like the great world in which he lives, must have his night. For it is true that man is like the world around him; he is a little world; he resembles the world in almost every thing; and if the world has its night, so has man. And we have many a night—nights of sorrow, nights of persecution, nights of doubt, nights of bewilderment, nights of anxiety, nights of oppression, nights of ignorance—nights of all kinds, which press upon our spirits and terrify our souls. But, blessed be God, the Christian can say, "My God gives me songs in the night.”

It's not necessary to prove to you that Christians have nights; for if you are Christians, you will find that you have them, and you will not need any proof, for nights will come quite often enough. I will, therefore, proceed at once to the subject; and I will speak this evening on songs in the night:

1. Their source--God gives them; songs in the night.

2. Their subject--what do we sing about in the night?

3. Songs in the night, their excellence--they are enthusiastic songs, and they are sweet ones.

4. Songs in the night, their uses--their benefits to ourselves and others.
