Author: James Nicholson Hymnal: Joy to the World #95 (1879) First Line: The Lord is my light, then why should I fear Lyrics: 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 assurance the Spirit doth bring.
Chorus:
The Lord is my light,
He is my joy, and my song,
By day and by night.
He leads, he leads me along.
2 The Lord is my light, tho' clouds may arise,
Faith, stronger than sight, looks up thro' the skies,
Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign,
Then how can I ever in darkness remain? [Chorus]
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 pow'r,
And walking by faith I am saved every hour. [Chorus]
4 The Lord is my light, my all and in all,
There is in his sight no darkness at all;
He is my Redeemer, my Saviour and King,
With saints and with angels his praises I sing. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [The Lord is my light, then why should I fear]
The Lord is My Light
