The Safety in Trusting in God

Verse 1

The LORD, my Savior, is my light; what terrors can my soul affright? While GOD my strength, my life is near, what potent arm shall make me fear?

Verse 2

The greatest joy my heart desires, and for which all my soul aspires, is in GOD's house to spend my days, my life devoted to His praise.

Verse 3

This do I seek with ceaseless prayer; and GOD attends my earnest prayer; here may my soul His beauties trace, and know the wonders of His grace.

Verse 4

When troubles rise, my guardian GOD will hide me safe in His abode! Firm as a rock my hope shall stand, sustained by His almighty hand.

Verse 5

Should every earthly friend depart, or should I lose my parents' heart, then GOD on whom my hopes depend will still be Father, Guide, and Friend.
