Psalm 27A from the Trinity Psalter Hymnal - to the tune of Auld Lang
Verse 1
The Lord's my light and saving help, by whom am I dismayed
The Lord's the stronghold of my life, of whom am I afraid
When evildoers threaten me to eat my flesh away
My adversaries and my foes will stumble in that day
Verse 2
Though armies war on every side my heart will feel no dread
Though war against me should arise yet I will lift my head
One thing I plead before the Lord and seek with heart upraised
That I may come within God's house and dwell there all my days
Verse 3
To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and see his grace
And seek to know within his house instruction in his ways
For he will hide and shelter me when comes the evil day
He sets me high upon a rock his tent will keep me safe
Verse 4
My head is lifted high above my foes who hem me in
I sacrifice within his tent with shouts of joy I sing
Lord hear me when I call to you be merciful and speak
Come seek my face you told my heart, your face Lord will I seek
Verse 5
O do not hide your face from me and do not turn aside
Your servant in righteous wrath for you have been my guide
O God my savior leave me not, do not reject my plea
My parents may forsake Lord but you will welcome me
Verse 6
O teach your way and lead me Lord against my enemies
To false and cruel witnesses do not deliver me
Yet I am sure that in this life God's goodness I will see
Await the Lord be strong take heart, for him wait patiently
