Zion's Harp ‎#110

110. O Lord, my light

1 O Lord, my light,
In Thee I shall prevail;
With Thee I am secure.
I need not fear,
Though Satan would assail;
His trials I shall endure.
The enemy I am not fearing;
In steadfast faith to Thee I’m nearing.
Thou art my light.

2 One thing I seek
Far more than tongue can tell:
That in Thy holy place
With Thee, my God,
I might forever dwell
To praise Thee for thy grace.
O, Lord, I wish to see Thy splendor!
Prepare me now that I may enter
Thy mansion bright.

3 Thou art my tow’r;
In time of great distress
I seek Thy realm of light;
There I rejoice;
Within this vale of tears,
Sustain me with Thy might.
Unto Thy name I’m honor bringing,
And joyously Thy praises singing;
Hallelujah!

4 Lord, do Thou hear
My pleading and my pray’r!
Thy word dwells in my heart.
Thy grace does flow
From Thy blest home on high.
The shield of faith Thou art.
Before Thy countenance appearing,
In truth and spirit Thee I’m nearing;
Oh, hear my pray’r!

5 Oh, lead Thou me
Upon the narrow way,
Lest I should stray from Thee!
In Thee alone
I place my trust each day;
No mortal can help me.
In Thee, my Lord, I am confiding;
For me a home Thou art providing
In realms of light.
