Bible Songs #92 "Send Out Thy Light" (Psalm 43:2-3, 5-6)
1. O God my strength, why dost Thou me
Cast off in my distress,
Why go I mourning all the day
While enemies oppress?
Refrain:
Send out Thy light, Thy light and truth,
O let them lead and guide me,
Send out Thy light, Thy light and truth,
O let them lead and guide me.
2. O send Thy light forth and Thy truth
Let them be guides to me;
And bring me to Thy holy hill,
E’en where Thy dwellings be.
Refrain.
3. Why art thou then cast down, my soul?
What should discourage thee?
And why with vexing thoughts art thou
Disquieted in me?
Refrain.
4. Still trust in God; for Him to praise
Good cause I yet shall have;
He of my count’nance is the health,
My God that doth me save.
Refrain.
