The Lord's my light and saving health
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 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 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;
3 That I the beauty of the Lord
behold may and admire,
And that I in his holy place
may reverently enquire.
4 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. Topics: Church Worship; God Protection of; Patience Scripture: Psalm 27 Used With Tune: BISHOPTHORPE Text Sources: The Scottish Psalter, 1929

Psalm 27: The Lord's my light and saving health
Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #P29 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The Lord's my light and saving health Lyrics:
1The Lord’s my light and saving health,
who shall make me dismay’d?
My life’s strength is the Lord, of whom
then shall I be afraid?
2When as mine enemies and foes,
most wicked persons all,
To eat my flesh against me rose,
they stumbled and did fall.
3Against me though an host encamp,
my heart yet fearless is:
Though war against me rise, I will
be confident in this.
4One thing I of the Lord desir’d,
and will seek to obtain,
That all days of my life I may
within God’s house remain;
That I the beauty of the Lord
behold may and admire,
And that I in his holy place
may rev’rently enquire.
5For he in his pavilion shall
me hide in evil days;
In secret of his tent me hide,
and on a rock me raise.
6And now, ev’n at this present time,
mine head shall lifted be
Above all those that are my foes,
and round encompass me:
Therefore unto his tabernacle
I’ll sacrifices bring
Of joyfulness; I’ll sing, yea, I
to God will praises sing.
7O Lord, give ear unto my voice,
when I do cry to thee;
Upon me also mercy have,
and do thou answer me.
8When thou didst say, Seek ye my face,
then unto thee reply
Thus did my heart, Above all things
thy face, Lord, seek will I.
9Far from me hide not thou thy face;
put not away from thee
Thy servant in thy wrath: thou hast
an helper been to me.
O God of my salvation,
leave me not, nor forsake:
10Though me my parents both should leave,
the Lord will me up take.
11O Lord, instruct me in thy way,
to me a leader be
In a plain path, because of those
that hatred bear to me.
12Give me not to mine en’mies’ will;
for witnesses that lie
Against me risen are, and such
as breathe out cruelty.
13I fainted had, unless that I
believed had to see
The Lord’s own goodness in the land
of them that living be.
14Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong,
and he shall strength afford
Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait,
I say, upon the Lord.

1823 - 1889 Person Name: William Henry Monk, 1823-1889 Adapter (harmony) of "ST. MAGNUS" in The Book of Praise William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851).
