The Lord is my light; then why should I fear?

by James Nicholson

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 515.

Verse 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 persuasion the Spirit brings in.

Refrain

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.

Verse 2

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?

Verse 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 power, And, walking by faith, He upholds me each hour.

Verse 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 Savior and King; With saints and with angels His praises I sing.
