Hymn for the Entrance Procession
The Lord is My Light
Verse 1
The Lord is my light,
my help, my salvation.
Why should I fear?
With God I fear no one.
God protects me all my life
With the Lord what should I dread?Chorus
The Lord is my light,
the Lord is my help,
the Lord is my salvation.Verse 2
There is one thing I ask
of the Lord that I long for:
all of my days
with God to be dwelling,
gazing with awe at the beauty of God,
and in wonder look on God's house.Chorus
The Lord is my light,
the Lord is my help,
the Lord is my salvation.Verse 3
I know I will live
to see the Lord's goodness;
now, in this life,
I'm sure I will see it.
Trust in the Lord, be strong and be brave;
wait in hope for God, our salvation.Chorus
The Lord is my light,
the Lord is my help,
the Lord is my salvation.
