Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #27 (2023) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The LORD, my Savior, is my light;
what terrors can my soul affright?
While GOD my strength, my life is near,
what potent arm shall make me fear?
2 The greatest joy my heart desires,
and for which all my soul aspires,
is in GOD's house to spend my days,
my life devoted to His praise.
3 This do I seek with ceaseless prayer;
and GOD attends my earnest prayer;
here may my soul His beauties trace,
and know the wonders of His grace.
4 When troubles rise, my guardian GOD
will hide me safe in His abode!
Firm as a rock my hope shall stand,
sustained by His almighty hand.
5 Should every earthly friend depart,
or should I lose my parents' heart,
then GOD on whom my hopes depend
will still be Father, Guide, and Friend.
