[Chorus] But I shall rejoice in thy salvation, My heart shall trust in thy mercy and care; I will sing, I will sing unto the Lord, For he hath dealt bountifully and fair. [Verse] Wilt thou forget me, O Lord? If so, for how long? If so, for ever? Thy absence I can’t long afford. How long wilt thine face be hid from mine endeavor? [Chorus] But I shall rejoice in thy salvation, My heart shall trust in thy mercy and care; I will sing, I will sing unto the Lord, For he hath dealt bountifully and fair. [Verse] How long shall I take counsel in my soul? Must sorrow haunt my heart every day? Shall my enemies always control? And shall they forever have the final say? [Bridge] O Lord my God: Consider and hear me, Lest mine enemy say, against him I’ve prevailed. Light my eyes, keep me from deathly sleep; They take joy when my movement is assailed. [Chorus] But I shall rejoice in thy salvation, My heart shall trust in thy mercy and care; I will sing, I will sing unto the Lord, For he hath dealt bountifully and fair.
