by Charles Shepherd

Jesus, You are my strength
In the morning light.

Jesus, You are my hope
In the noontime bright.

And when the day is done,
and all is right,

Jesus, You are my song
In the night.

“Yet the LORD will command his loving kindness in the
daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and
my prayer unto the God of my life.” Psalm 42:8
