On Sunday evening we sang this to the tune, federal street.
The Lord my Savior is my light,
what power against my soul shall fight?
While God, my strength, to me is near,
what foe can harm, whom shall I fear?
The greatest joy my heart desires
and for which all my soul aspires
is in God's house to spend my days,
my life devoted to his praise
This do I seek with ceaseless care
and God attends my earnest prayer;
Here may my soul his beauties trace,
and know the wonders of his grace
When troubles rise, my guardian God
will hide me safe in his abode!
Firm as a rock my hope shall stand
sustained by his almighty hand
Should every earthly friend depart
or should I lose my parents' heart
then God on whom my hopes depend
will still be Father, Guide and Friend
