Psalm 27
Words: The Psalter for Christian Worship, Michael Morgan
| Music: 87d | "Abbots Leigh" C.V. Taylor, |
A Psalm of Confidence
God, my light and my salvation,
In whose strength my hope is laid;
Confident in my salvation,
I shall never be afraid.
Evil hosts may rise against me,
Wars distress, and flesh decays;
Yet the cruelest death imagined
But begins my song of praise
Shelter me within the haven
Of Thy house all time to come;
On the rock of Thy protection,
Let me safely find a home.
Lift me high above the legions
Who would rail against Thy word;
O'er the tumult of division
Make my cru for peace be heard.
When my trust is disappointed,
Faith confronted with disdain;
Friend and foe defeat my purpose,
Even then wilt Thou sustain.
Had I not with eyes believing
Seen the goodness of Thy face,
Never could I taste Thy pleasure,
Nor await Thy saving grace.
