From God the Lord doth come my certain aid, From God the Lord who heaven and earth hath made. 2 He will not suffer that thy foot be moved: Safe shalt thou be. No careless slumber shall His eyelids close, Who keepeth thee. Behold, He sleepeth not, He slumbereth ne'er, Who keepeth Israel in His holy care. 3 Jehovah is Himself thy keeper true, Thy changeless shade; Jehovah thy defense on thy right hand Himself hath made. And thee no sun by day shall ever smite; No moon shall harm thee in the silent night. 4 From every evil shall He keep thy soul, From every sin; Jehovah shall preserve thy going out, Thy coming in. Above thee watching, He whom we adore Shall keep thee henceforth, yea, for evermore. Amen.

I look for him to drive away my night, yea, more than watchmen look for morning light. 3 Hope in the Lord, ye waiting saints, and he will well provide; for mercy and redemption full and free with him abide. From sin and evil, mighty though they seem, his arm almighty will his saints redeem.

Sem luz eu não desejo mais andar; Oh! vem, Senhor; oh! vem meus pés guiar! 3 Guardou-me até aqui o Teu poder, E guardará. Teu braço vai-me ainda defender, E guiará. E, finda minha vida terreal, Irei morar no lar celestial. Used With Tune: LUX BENIGNA

Faint were our weary feet With wand’ring far; But Thou didst come, our lonely heart to greet, Our Morning Star; And Thou didst bid us lift our gaze on high And see the glory of the glowing sky. 2. In days long past we missed our homeward way, We could not see; Blind were our eyes, our feet were bound to stray, How blind to Thee! But Thou didst pity, Lord, our gloomy plight, And Thou didst touch our eyes and give them sight. 3. Where is death’s sting, where, grave, thy victory? Where all the pain, Now that thy King the veil that hung o’er thee Hath rent in twain? Light of the world, we hear Thee bid us come To light and love, in Thine eternal home. Used With Tune: SANDON
