The Lord of glory is my light

by Isaac Watts·1719·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)

Based on Ps 27:1-6

1

The Lord of glory is my light,
And my salvation too;
God is my strength, nor will I fear
What all my foes can do.

2

One privilege my heart desires;
O grant me an abode
Among the churches of thy saints,
The temples of my God!

3

There shall I offer my requests,
And see thy beauty still;
Shall hear thy messages of love,
And there inquire thy will.

4

When troubles rise, and storms appear,
There may his children hide;
God has a strong pavilion where
He makes my soul abide.

5

Now shall my head be lifted high
Above my foes around,
And songs of joy and victory
Within thy temple sound.
