B7  E          B7                       E
The Lord is my light; then why should I fear?
   A          E                     B
By day and by night His presence is near;
B7 E         B7                     E
He is my sal-vation from sorrow and sin;
     A           E   C#m  F#7 E   B7        E
This blessed per-sua-sion the Spi-rit bring in.
E              B         E          B
The Lord is my light; my joy and my song;
Ab            Dbm      Gb7        B
By day and by night He leads me a-long;
B7  E          B7                   E
The Lord is my light, my joy and my song;
   A          E     C#m E    B7   E
By day and by night He leads me a-long.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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 persuasion the Spirit brings in.

[Refrain]
The Lord is my light, my joy, and my song;
By day and by night He leads me along;
The Lord is my light, my joy, and my song;
By day and by night He leads me along.

[Verse 2]
The Lord is my light; though clouds may arise,
Faith, stronger than sight, looks up to the skies
Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign:
Then how can I ever in darkness remain?

[Verse 3]
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, He upholds me each hour.

[Verse 4]
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 sing.
