Defend me O God Lyrics

Ant: 1. I will go to the altar of God, praise the god of my joy.

Ant 2. Send forth your light and your truth, let these be my guide.

Ant 3. Hope in God, I will praise him still my Savior and my God.

1. Defend me O God and plead my cause, against a godless nation. From deceitful cunning men, rescue me O God.

2. Since You O God are my stronghold why have You rejected me? Why do I go mourning oppressed by the foe?

3. O send forth your light and your truth, let these be my guide, let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where You dwell.

4. And I will come to the altar of God, the God of my joy, My Redeemer, I will thank You on the harp, O God my God!

5. Why are you cast down, my soul, why groan within me? Hope in God, I will praise Him still, my Saviour and my God.

6. Praise the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and forever. The God who is, who was and who will be, world without end.
