The Lord is both my health and light
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #XXVII (1790) Hymnal Title: The Whole Book of Psalms Lyrics: 1 The Lord is both my health and light,
shall man make me dismay'd?
Since God doth give me strength and might,
why should I be afraid?
2 While that my foes with all their strength
began with me to brawl,
Thinking to eat me up, at length
themselves have caught the fall.
3 Tho' they encamp'd against me lie,
my heart is not afraid;
And if in battle they will try,
I trust in God for aid.
4 One thing of God I do require,
that he will not deny;
For which I pray and will desire,
till he to me apply:
5 That I within his holy place
my life throughout may dwell;
To see the beauty of his face,
and view his temple well.
6 In time of dread he shall me hide
within his place most pure,
And keep me secret by his side,
as on a rock most sure.
7 At length I know the Lord's good grace
shall make me strong and stout,
My foes to foil and clean deface,
that compass me about.
8 Therefore within his house will I
give sacrifice of praise;
With psalms and songs I will apply
to laud the Lord always.
The Second Part.
9 Lord, hear the voice of my request,
for which to thee I cry;
Have mercy, Lord, on me opprest,
and help me speedily.
10 My heart confesseth unto thee,
I sue to have thy grace;
Then seek my face, saidst thou to me;
Lord, I will seek thy face.
11 In wrath turn not thy face away,
nor suffer me to slide;
My help thou hast been to this day,
be still my God and guide.
12 When both my parents me forsake,
and cast me off at large,
Ev'n then the Lord himself doth take
of me the care and charge.
13 Teach me, O Lord, the way to thee,
and lead me on forth-right,
For fear of such as watch for me,
to trap me if they might.
14 O leave me not unto the will
of them that be my foes;
For they devise against me still
false witness to depose.
15 I utterly should faint, but that
this hope supporteth me,
That in the land wherein I live
God's goodness I shall see.
16 Trust still in God, whose whole thou art,
his will abide thou must;
He will support and ease thy heart,
if thou in him do trust. Scripture: Psalm 27 Languages: English
