Z.26 The Lord Is My Light

Z.26 The Lord is My Light and My Help

Chorus-1:
The Lord is my salvation,
He is my light, alleluia!

Chorus-2:
The Lord is my Redeemer,
He is my light and salvation.

The Lord is my light and my help,
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life,
before whom shall I shrink?

When evil-doers draw near
to devour my flesh,
it is they, my enemies and foes,
who stumble and fall.

Though an army encamp against me
my heart would not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then would I trust.

O Lord, hear my voice when I call,
have mercy and answer,
Of you my heart has spoken,
“Seek his face”.

It is your face, O Lord, that I seek,
hide not your face.
Dismiss not your servant in anger;
You have been my help!

Do not abandon or forsake me.
O God, my help!
Though father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.

I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness
in the land of the living.
Hope in him, hold firm and take heart,
hope in the Lord!
