The Lord Almighty Is My Light

The Lord Al­migh­ty is my light

He is my Sav­ior ev­er near

And

since my strength is in His might

Who can dis­tress me or af­fright?

What ev­il shall I fear?

O Lord

re­gard me when I cry

In mer­cy hear me when I speak;

Thou bidst me seek Thy face

and I

O Lord

with will­ing heart re­ply

Thy face

Lord

will I seek.

Hide not Thy face afar from me

For Thou alone canst help af­ford;

O cast me not away from Thee

Nor let my soul for­sak­en be

My Sav­ior and my Lord.

Though earth­ly friends no pi­ty take

Yet Thy com­pass­ion knows no end;

E’en though my fa­ther shall for­sake

E’en though my mo­ther’s love shall break

The Lord will be my friend.

Jehovah

guide me in Thy way

And lead me in the path of right;

Give me not up un­to my foes

That rise to mul­ti­ply woes

With false and cru­el might.

My heart had failed in fear and woe

Unless in God I had be­lieved

Assured that He would mer­cy show

And that my life His grace should know;

Nor was my hope de­ceived.

Fear not

though suc­cor be de­layed

Still wait for God

and He will hear;

Be strong

nor be Thy heart dis­mayed

Wait

and the Lord shall bring Thee aid

Yea

trust and nev­er fear.
