Introit
THE LORD - || is my light and my Salvation; whom | shall | I | fear? | - *
The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be | a- | fraid?
|| When the wicked | came | a- | gainst | me, *
My enemies and foes, they stumbled | and | fell. (Psalm 27:1–2)
|| Though an army may en- | camp | a- | gainst | me, *
My heart shall | not | fear;
|| Though war should | rise | a- | gainst | me, *
In this I will be con- | fi- | dent.
|| One thing I have desired of the Lord, that | will | I | seek: | - *
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of | my | life,
|| For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in | His | pa- | vil- | ion; *
He shall set me high upon | a | rock. (Psalm 27:3a, 3b–5)
