Blest be the Lord

Blest be the Lord; Blest be the Lord,

The God of mercy, the God who saves.

I shall not fear the dark of night,

Nor the arrow that flies by day.

I

He will release me from the nets of all my foes.

He will protect me from their wicked hands.

Beneath the shadow of His wings, I will rejoice,

To find a dwelling place secure.

II

I need not shrink before the terrors of the night.

Nor stand alone before the light of day.

No harm shall come to me,

Nor arrow strike me down.

No evil settle in my soul.
