Lyrics (Psalm Ps 27:1, 7-8, 8-9, 13-14):

Response: The Lord is my light and my salvation.

stained glass bulletThe LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The LORD is my life's refuge;
of whom should I be afraid? Response

stained glass bulletHear, O LORD, the sound of my call;
have pity on me, and answer me.
Of you my heart speaks; you my glance seeks. Response

stained glass bulletYour presence, O LORD, I seek.
Hide not your face from me;
do not in anger repel your servant.
You are my helper: cast me not off. Response

stained glass bulletI believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD. Response
