Break Forth Into Joy
I Know that My Redeemer Lives
O That I Were an Angel
The Lord Is My Light
There Is Sunshine in My Soul Today

The Lord Is My Light - arr. by Betsy Lee Bailey
Text: James Nicholson, 1828-1876        Music: John R. Sweeney, 1837-1899

The Lord is my light, then why should I fear?
By day and by night his presence is near.
He is my salvation from sorrow and sin.
This blessed assurance the Spirit doth bring.

The Lord is my light, though clouds may arise.
Faith stronger than sight looks up through the skies.
Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign.
Then how can I ever in darkness remain?

The Lord is my light. He is my joy and my song.
By day and by night, He leads, he leads me along.

The Lord is my light; the Lord is my strength.
I know in His might I'll conquer at length.
My weakness in mercy He covers with power,
And walking by faith I am blessed every hour.

The Lord is my light, my all and in all.
There is in His sight no darkness at all.
He is my Redeemer, my Savior and King.
With Saints and with angels His praises I'll sing.

The Lord is my light. He is my joy and my song.
By day and by night, He leads, he leads me along.
He is my light!  He is my life!
He is my joy!  He is my song!
By day and by night, He leads, he leads me along!
