I SING IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS
MY SOUL CLINGS
AS YOUR RIGHT HAND
UPHOLDS ME
EVEN THE DARKNESS IS NOT DARK TO YOU
THE NIGHT SHINES LIKE THE DAY
FOR DARKNESS IS AS LIGHT TO YOU
WHEN MY SPIRIT GROWS FAINT WITHIN ME
IT IS YOU WHO KNOWS MY WAY
BY DAY YOU DIRECT YOUR LOVE
AT NIGHT YOUR SONG IS WITH ME
WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT
BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING LIGHT
YOU WILL HELP ME AT BREAK OF DAY
YOUR WORD IS LIKE THE FIRST GLEAM OF DAWN
SHINING EVER BRIGHTER
TILL THE FULL LIGHT OF DAY
SEND FORTH YOUR LIGHT AND YOUR TRUTH
LET THEM GUIDE ME
LET THE EYES OF MY UNDERSTANDING BE
ENLIGHTENED THAT I MAY SEE
SET MY HEART FREE
WHERE IS GOD WHO GIVES SONGS IN THE NIGHT
A PILLAR OF FIRE TO GIVE ME LIGHT?
MY SOUL YEARNS FOR YOU IN THE NIGHT
IN THE MORNING MY SPIRIT LONGS
WHERE MORNING DAWNS AND EVENING FADES
YOU CALL FORTH JOYFUL SONGS
YOUR WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET
AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH
AS A LIGHT SHINING IN THE DARK
UNTIL THE DAY DAWNS
AND THE MORNING STAR
RISES IN MY HEART
I SPEAK ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD
OR I HAVE NO LIGHT OF DAWN
I DO NOT PUT OUT THE SPIRIT’S FIRE
THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RISING HIGHER
LIFE WILL BE BRIGHTER THAN NOONDAY
AND DARKNESS BECOME LIKE THE DAWN
