Text: | The Lord's my light and saving health |
Tune: | FARRANT |
Composer (attributed to): | John Hilton, d. 1608 |
1 The Lord’s my light and saving health,
Who shall make me dismayed?
My life’s strength is the Lord, of whom
Then shall I be afraid?
2 Against me though an host encamp,
My heart yet fearless is:
Though war against me rise, I will
Be confident in this.
3 One thing I of the Lord desired,
And will seek to obtain,
That all days of my life I may
Within God’s house remain;
4 That I the beauty of the Lord
behold may and admire,
And that I in his holy place
May reverently enquire.
5 For he in his pavilion shall
Me hide in evil days;
In secret of his tent me hide,
And on a rock me raise.
6 Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong,
and he shall strength afford
Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait,
I say, upon the Lord.
7 To Father,Son, and Holy Ghost,
To God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was and is,
And shall be evermore.
Amen.
