1. O Lord, My Light,
Thou art my present aid
In Thee I shall abide
Of Satan’s might
I need not be afraid
When Thou art at my side
I do not fear the foeman’s power
My heart is fixed on Thee each hour
My Lord, my Light!
2. One thing I pray
And yearn for mightily
Within Thy holy place
To dwell for aye
Therein to worship Thee
And magnify Thy grace
Upon Thy loveliness to ponder
And to prepare for glory yonder
O blessed day!
3. Thou hidest me
When need and anguish nears
Within Thy house of light
My heart is free
E’en in this vale of tears
Supported by Thy might
My tongue shall praise Thee
O Jehovah, Forever singing, “Hallelujah,”
To honor Thee!
4. Dear Lord, I come
Accept my fervent prayer
For to They Word I cling.
There issues from
Thy tabernacle fair
O grace a flowing spring
Hence I would fain appear before Thee
In truth and spirit to adore Thee!
Dear Lord, I come!
5. O Lord, lead me
And be my spirit’s guide
Lest I should go astray
I have but Thee
In whom I may confide
None else can show the way.
Since all my trust to Thee is given
My happy lot I’ll see in heaven
They realm of light.
