43A. Send Out Your Light and Your Truth

1 Send out your light and your truth, let them lead me;
Oh, let them bring me to your holy hill.
Send out your light and your truth, let them lead me;
Oh, let them bring me to your holy hill.

2 Lead me, O LORD, in the way everlasting:
Oh, lead and guide me to your holy hill.
Lead me, O LORD, in the way everlasting:
Oh, lead and guide me to your holy hill.
