The Lord Is My Light

lyricist: James Nicholson, 1877
Composer: John Bischoff

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 bless­èd per­su­asion the Spir­it brings in.

The Lord is my light

my joy

and my song;

By day and by night He leads me along;

The Lord is my light

my joy

and my song;

By day and by night He leads me along;

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?

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.

The Lord is my light

my all and in all;

There is in His sight no dark­ness at all;

He is my Re­deem­er

my Sav­ior and king;

With saints and with an­gels His prais­es I sing.
