The Lord, my Saviour, is my light;
What terrors can my soul affright?
While God, my strength. my life, is near,
What potent arms shall make me fear?
Should num�rous foes besiege me round,
My steadfast heart no fear shall wound ;
Though war should rise in dread array,
God is my strength, my hope, my stay.
This only gift my heart desires,
For this my ardent wish aspires;
This will I seek with restless care,
�Till God attend my humble prayer.
In his own house to spend my days,
My life devoted to his praise:
There would my soul his beauties trace,
And learn the wonders of his grace.
Should ev�ry earthly friend depart,
And nature leave a parent�s heart;
My God, on whom my hopes depend,
Will be my father and my friend.
Ye humble souls, in ev�ry strait,
On God with sacred courage wait;
His hands shall life and strength afford,
Ye trembling saints, wait on the Lord.
