Hymn
The Lord is My Light
Words: Nicholson, James, 1828-1876
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 assurance the Spirit doth bring.
Chorus
The Lord is my light, He is my joy, and my song, By day and by night. He leads, he leads me along.
The Lord is my light, tho' clouds may arise, Faith, stronger than sight, looks up thro' the skies, Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign, Then how can I ever in darkness remain? [Chorus]
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 pow'r, And walking by faith I am saved every hour. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
