The Lord is my light

The Lord is my light; then why should I fear?

1

The Lord is my light; then why should I fear?By day and by night his presence is near;He is my salvation from sorrow and sin;This blessed persuasion the Spirit brings in.

Chorus.

The Lord is my light, my joy, and my song;By day and by night he leads me along;The Lord is my light, my joy, and my song;By day and by night he leads me along.

2

The Lord is my light; tho' clouds may arise,Faith, stronger than sight, looks up to the skiesWhere Jesus forever in glory doth reign:Then how can I ever in darkness remain?

3

The Lord is my light, the Lord is my strength,I know in his might I'll conquer at length;My weakness in mercy he covers with power,And, walking by faith, he upholds me each hour.

4

The Lord is my light, my all and in all;There is in his sight no darkness at all;He is my Redeemer, my Saviour and King;With saints and with angels his praises I sing.
