blest be the lord

I shall not fear the dark of night,

nor the arrow that flies by day.

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

He will protect me from their wicked hands.

Beneath the shadows of his wings I will rejoice

to find a dwelling place secure.

Refrain

I need not shrink before the terrors of the night

nor stand alone before the light of day.

No harm shall come to me, no arrow strike me down,

no evil settle in my soul.

Refrain

Although a thousand strong have fallen at my side,

I'll not be shaken with the Lord at hand.

His faithful love is all the armor that I need

to wage my battle with the foe.

Refrain
