My Light and My Salvation (Sylvester)

My light and my sal­va­tion

O Lord of life

art Thou;

Accept my con­se­cra­tion

To Thee I pay my vow.

Thou art the King of glo­ry

Thy love hath set me free;

O sweet and bless­èd sto­ry

The Sav­ior died for me.

O Lord

my life and my sal­va­tion

I love Thee and ad­ore;

I rest on Thee

The true foun­da­tion

I rest for­ev­er­more.

O God of my sal­va­tion

Thou art be­come my song;

Unceasing ad­or­ation

And love to Thee be­long

Thro’ all the hoa­ry ages

Thy Word has still been true;

Today its bless­èd pag­es

My hope and strength re­new.

To all Thy king­ly splen­dor

To Thy re­deem­ing love

What trib­ute shall I ren­der

My loy­al­ty to prove?

O Sav­ior

high and ho­ly

In all Thy love and might

Within my heart so low­ly

Be Thou my life and light!
