- 1The Lord of glory is my light,
- And my salvation too;
- God is my strength,--nor will I fear
- What all my foes can do.
- 2One privilege my heart desires,--
- Oh, grant me an abode,
- Among the churches of thy saints,--
- The temples of my God.
- 3There shall I offer my requests,
- And see thy beauty still;
- Shall hear thy messages of love,
- And there inquire thy will.
- 4When troubles rise, and storms appear,
- There may his children hide;
- God has a strong pavilion, where
- He makes my soul abide.
- 5Now shall my head be lifted high,
- Above my foes around;
- And songs of joy and victory
- Within thy temple sound.
