O Thou in Whose Presence My Soul Takes Delight
"The LORD is my light and my salvation." - Ps 27:1
VERSE 1
O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight,
On whom in affliction I call,
My comfort by day and my song in the night,
My hope, my salvation, my all!
VERSE 2
Where dost thou, dear Shepherd, resort with Thy sheep,
To feed them in pastures of love?
Say, why in the valley of death should I weep,
Or alone in this wilderness rove?
VERSE 3
O why should I wander an alien from Thee
Or cry in the desert for bread?
Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see
And smile at the tears I have shed.
VERSE 4
Dear shepherd! I hear, all I will follow
Thy call I know the sweet sound of Thy sound
Restore and defend me, for Thou art my call
And in thee I will ever rejoice.
