Lyrics:

Refrain: The Lord Is my hope and my glory.
The Lord is the song that I sing:
so tender and loving a shepherd,
so rooted in justice, a king (merciful king).
When shadow confuses my vision,
when sorrow lays claim to my heart,
God is my refuge, my rock and my shield.
I will rely on the Lord.

1. Near to death I cried, "Save me!" and you heard.
You are God, and you lift up the poor.

2. Kingdoms fall; nations tremble at your power.
None can stand without you at their side.

3. Justice reigns, and the wicked are cast down.
In your love is our safety and strength.

4. All who trust in your promise will be saved,
for your word has been tested in fire.

5. Morning comes: I will praise you with my life,
ever faithful and true to your word.
