I Will Sing of Your Strength

But I will sing of your strength, 

in the morning I will sing of your love; 

for you are my fortress, 

my refuge in times of trouble .Ps. 59:16

I will sing of your strength in the morning

Oh Lord, I will sing of your faithful love

See how Your mercy rolls back the dark awning

Of midnight in shades flung from heaven above

I will sing of your strength in the noonday

While toil and temptation trouble and test

Surely your goodness and mercy will succor

Until the eventide bids us to its rest

I will sing of Your strength in the evening

When shadows fold over life’s weary way

You are my fortress, my refuge in trouble

God of the golden and God of the gray

Lord, I will sing of Your strength at midnight

Lest in the silence of darkness and space

Fear should persuade be to doubt in the kindness

Of Your everlasting goodness and grace
