"The Lord is my Light and my Salvation-
whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge
and Stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?"
(Psalm 27:1)

God is my strong salvation;
What foe have I to fear?
In darkness and temptation,
My light, my help, is near:
Though hosts encamp around me,
Firm in the fight I stand;
What terror can confound me,
With God at my right hand?
Place on the Lord reliance;
My soul with courage wait;
His might thy heart shall strengthen,
His love thy joy increase;
Mercy thy days shall lengthen;
The Lord will give thee peace.
"God Is My Strong Salvation"
