BLEST BE THE LORD

Blest be the Lord. (2)

The God of mercy, the God who saves.

I shall not fear the dark of night,

Nor the arrow that flies by day.

He will release me from the nets of sinful ones.

He will protect me from their wicked hands.

Beneath the shadow of his wings, I will rejoice,

To find a dwelling place secure.

I need not shrink before the terrors of the night,

Nor stand alone before the light of day.

No harm shall come to me, no arrows strike me down.

No evil settle in my soul.

Although a thousand ones have fallen at my side,

I'll not be shaken with the Lord at hand.

His faithful love is all the armour that I need

To wage my battle with the foe.
