1
The Lord is my light; then why should I fear?
By day and by night His presence is near;
He is my salvation from sorrow and sin;
This blessed persuasion the Spirit brings in.
2
The Lord is my light, though clouds may arise,
Faith, stronger than sight, looks up to the skies;
Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign;
Then how can I ever in darkness remain?
3
The Lord is my light, the Lord is my strength;
I know in His might I'll conquer at length;
My weakness in mercy He covers with power,
And walking by faith, He upholds me each hour.
4
The Lord is my light, my all and in all;
There is in His sight no darkness at all;
He is my Savior and King;
With saints and with angels His praises I sing.
