Jehovah Is My Light

Verse 1

O LORD, you are my light and my salvation near; then who will cause me fright or fill my heart with fear? While God my strength, my life sustains, secure from fear my soul remains, secure from fear my soul remains.

Verse 2

My one request has been and still this prayer I raise; that I may live within God's house for all my days. God's glorious beauty to admire, and in his temple to inquire, and in his temple to inquire.

Verse 3

When troubles round me swell, when fears and dangers throng, securely I will dwell in his pavilion strong. Within the shelter of God's tent he hides me till the storm is spent, he hides me till the storm is spent.

Verse 4

Uplifted on a rock above my foes around, amid the battle shock my song shall still resound. Then joyful offerings I will bring; the LORD God's praise my heart shall sing, the LORD God's praise my heart shall sing.
