THE LORD IS MY LIGHT
The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength and defense of my life – whom shall I dread?
When evildoers came upon me to devour me
My enemies they stumbled and fell.
Though a host encamp against me – my heart shall not fear,
For God is my shield.
The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength and defense of my life – whom shall I dread?
The Earth is the Lord’s and all it contains,
the world and those who dwell therein,
He has founded it upon the seas and upon the river,
Who may stand in His Holy Place?
Oh lift up your head oh Jerusalem,
And be lifted up you ancient doors,
That the King of Glory may come in,
The Lord, Strong and Mighty.
The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength and defense of my life – whom shall I dread?
The Lord of Hosts is on my side – whom shall I fear…..

Translation:
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope.
My soul waits for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD; For with the LORD there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption
.
HEAR MY CRY
Hear my cry oh God, Give ear to my prayer,
From the end of the Earth I go to thee when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I – for thou hast been my refuge,
Oh let me dwell in thy tent oh Lord, forever, evermore.
Oh Lord thou art my God I shall seek thee earnestly,
My soul thirsts for thee oh Lord, my flesh yearns for thee,
In a dry and weary land, where there is no water,
Thus I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, to see thy power and see thy glory.
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise thee oh Lord, I will bless thee as long as I live
I will lift up my hands, in thy name,
For thou hast been my refuge
And in the shadow of thy wings I will sing for joy.
And lift up my hands, in thy name,
For thou hast been my refuge
And in the shadow of thy wings I will sing for joy.
And lift up my hands, in thy name,
For thou hast been my refuge
And in the shadow of thy wings I will sing for joy – Sing For Joy!
.
LET US PRESS ON
Instead of being forsaken and hated,
Dry and barren, no one passing through,
God will make of you and everlasting majesty,
A joy to many generations.
Let us press on and come to know the Lord,
As sure as the breaking dawn, He comes.
As Winter rain, or cool Spring showers,
That water the Earth, He comes.
No more shall the Sun be our light by day,
The Moon be our brightness by night.
For the Lord will be to us an everlasting light,
Our days of mourning finally will end.
Let us press on and come to know You Lord,
As sure as the breaking dawn, You come.
As Winter rain, or cool Spring showers,
That water the Earth, You come.
Let us press on and come to know You Lord,
As sure as the breaking dawn, You come.
As Winter rain, or cool Spring showers,
That water the Earth, You come.

A Translation into the English language of the whole hymn (prayer) is:
Lord of Eternity who is King,
He reigned alone while there was no universe.
In the season of His pleasure, all things were created.
By His Name – The King – we call Him.
And after all shall cease,
To Him alone shall all fear,
For He was, for He IS
And forevermore will be!
He is my God and my Redeemer.
He is my rock while sorrows endure.
My banner and my stronghold.
He is my cup in the day that I call on Him.
In His hand I entrust my soul,
When I lie down and when I arise.
And though my spirit (life/breath) forsake me,
The Lord is for me.

THE RANSOMED OF THE LORD
The ransomed of the Lord will come singing, hallelujah,
Gathered unto Zion, praising God’s name,
Everlasting Joy shall be upon their heads,
No more sorrow, sadness or shame.
Break out into joy, sing it oh Jerusalem
Return sons of Israel, Messiah has come
They come with joyful shouting, singing hallelujah,
Nations of the world rejoice, singing and praying,
Children laughing, lifting up their hand in praise,
Old men clapping, blessing God’s name.
Break out into joy, sing it oh Jerusalem
Return sons of Israel, Messiah has come
The remnant of God’s people come singing hallelujah,
Dance before the Lord Himself, praising God’s name
Lion and the lamb shall graze together,
Leopard and the wolf will be tamed.
Break out into joy, sing it oh Jerusalem
Return sons of Israel, Messiah has come
Lai lai lai………………………………….

AWAKE OH JERUSALEM
Awake, awake, oh Jerusalem,
Rise up from the dust, captive daughter of Zion.

For I, even I, am He who comforts you.
You will seek me and you shall find me,
When you search for me will all of your heart,
You will come and pray to me, and I will listen to you,
And I will be found by you,
And I will restore your fortunes,
And I will gather you from all the places where I have driven you.
Shout for joy oh barren one, you who bore no child,
For you husband is your maker, and you are My people

Translation of the above:
Still can be heard in the hills of Judah and in
the courtyards of Jerusalem the sound of
gladness and the sound of joy, the voice of
the groom and the voice of the bride.

SHEPHERD OF ISRAEL
The Shepherd of Israel, will lead Israel like a flock,
Oh God, bend down your ear and listen as I plead,
Display your power and radiant glory,
Turn us again to yourself oh God,
Look down on us in joy and love,
Only then shall we be saved.
Oh Lord our God,
How long will you be angry and reject our prayers,
You have fed us with sorrow and tears,
And have made us the scorn of the neighboring nations,
Turn us again to yourself oh God,
Look down on us in joy and love,
Only then shall we be saved.
You brought us from Egypt,
As though we were a tender vine
And drove away the heathen,
But now you have broken down our walls,
Leaving us without protection,
Come back we beg of you oh God and bless us,
Look down from Heaven, protect what you’ve planted,
The son you have raised for yourself.
Strengthen the man you love,
The son of Your choice,
And we will never forsake you,
Again revive us to trust in you.
Turn us again to yourself oh God – Turn us again oh God,
Look down on us with joy – look down on us oh God,
With joy and love – only then shall we be saved.
