The Confidence of Faith

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Gospel Invitations of ; Invitation and Divine Pleading First Line: The Lord Almighty is my light Lyrics: 1 The Lord Almighty is my light, He is my Saviour ever near, And, since my strength is in His might Who can distress me or affright? What evil shall I fear? 2 O Lord, regard me when I cry, In mercy hear me when I speak; Thou bidst me seek Thy face, and I, O Lord, with willing heart reply, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. 3 Hide not Thy face afar from me, For Thou a lone canst help afford; O cast me not away from Thee Nor let my soul forsaken be, My Saviour and my Lord. 4 Though earthly friends no pity take, Yet Thy compassion knows no end; E'en tho' my father shall forsake, E'en tho' my mother's love shall break, The Lord will be my friend. 5 My heart had failed in fear and woe Unless in God I had believed, Assured that He would mercy show And that my life His grace should know, Nor was my hope deceived. 6 Fear not, though succor be delayed, Still wait for God, and He will hear; Be strong, nor be thy heart dismayed, Wait, and the Lord shall bring thee aid, Yea, trust and never fear. Scripture: Psalm 27 Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET
