John Rutter -
Be Thou My Vision (The Cambridge Singers and City of London Sinfonia feat. conductor: John Rutter)
The Lord is my light and my salvation
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom then shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom then shall I be afraid?
Though an host of men were laid against me,
yet shall not my heart be afraid:
and though there rose up war against me,
yet will I put my trust in him.
One thing have desired of the Lord,
which I will require;
even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the fair beauty of the Lord,
and to visit his temple.
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle:
yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me,
and set me up upon a rock of stone.
Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness:
I will sing, and speak praises unto the Lord.
Hearken unto my voice, O Lord,
when I cry unto thee:
have mercy upon me and hear me.
My heart hath talked of thee,
Seek ye my face:
thy face, Lord, will I seek.
O hide not thou hy face from me,
nor cast thy servant away in displeasure.
Thou hast been my succour:
leave me not, neither forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
When my father and my mother forsake me,
the Lord taketh me up.
Be strong, and he shall comfort hine heart;
and put thou thy trust in the Lord.
whom then shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom then shall I be afraid?
Though an host of men were laid against me,
yet shall not my heart be afraid:
and though there rose up war against me,
yet will I put my trust in him.
