Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #50a (1786) First Line: The Lord of glory is my light Lyrics: 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;
Oh 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 enquire 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.
