And for this reason we are rejoicing
In recognition for your great work.
3
Our God sent you to give restoration,
To His great Church, the Light of the World,
You have adorned all the apparel of the Bride of the Lord.
Her beauty is just like the shining sun,
And all this People reflects Her glow,
That God may keep you for many ages,
Until the day of redemption comes.

421. DEAREST LORD, I TRUST
OH, SENOR, EN Tl CONF/O
Ps 5'UTRUST7Pif25':6-SlJP'PUCATION
Dearest Lord, I trust your kindness,
For your ear can hear my voice;
Lo, the foe fiercely approaches,
To rob my heart of your peace.
CHORUS
Jesus Christ, dearest Lord,
Come to me with your love,
And protect my stumbling spirit;
From the evil tempter's snare.
2
I am deep in tribulation,
My rebuke is much to bear;
And my guilt and sin are shameful,
I am troubled in my heart.
3
With the burden of all my faults,
I am overladen sore,
With my tears I beg for mercy,
I beseech my Lord and King.
4
I am prone, I feel the danger,
There's great misery in me;
I'm ashamed of my disgraces,
That affront I can't avoid.

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HYMNAL, 351
