Unfailing Light

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Matt.5:9

  

Thy Word is a lamp to my feet; the darkness of this world

Would overcome save for the light by Thy true Word unfurled

Greater is He within than this world’s total sum

Of armies; with Thy word oh Father, we will overcome

Save us, oh Lord our God with Thy unfailing love

Keep us from being partakers when push might turn to shove

Bless the peacemakers, Lord;  be our strength and stay

As we study Thy faithful Word Your lamp will light the way

Be merciful Oh, Lord and comfort our lament

The wicked will have their reward, the proud their punishment

Then, as we cling to Thee and the Lamp of Thy word

Let your face shine on us and fill us with Your love, oh Lord

 Psalm 31

²³ Love the Lord, all his faithful people!
    The Lord preserves those who are true to him,
    but the proud he pays back in full.
²⁴ Be strong and take heart,
    all you who hope in the Lord.
