The Lord is my light and my salvation.
Psalm 27:1.
The Lord of glory is my light,
And my salvation too;
God is my strength, nor will I fear
What all my foes can do.
2 One blessing, Lord, my heart desires;
O, grant me my abode
Among the churches of thy saints,
The temples of my God.
3 There shall I offer my requests,
And see thy glory still;
Shall hear thy messages of love,
And learn thy holy will.
4 When troubles rise, and storms appear,
There may his children hide;
God has a strong pavilion, where
He makes my soul abide.
5 Now shall my head be lifted high
Above my foes around,
And songs of joy and victory
Within thy temple sound.
Watts.
