2 Nephi 22

Chapter 22 is all about praising the Lord in song. Isaiah 12:2 (which is also 2 Nephi 22:2) is the verse that inspired the following hymn, which is one of my favorites.

The Lord is My Light

James Nicholson

The Lord is my Light; then why should I fear?

By day and by night his presence in near.

He is my salvation from sorrow and sin;

This blessed assurance the Spirit doth bring.

Chorus:

The Lord is my light;

He is my joy and my song.

By dad and by night

He leads me along.

The Lord is my light; Tho clouds may arise,

Faith, stronger than sight, looks up thru the skies

Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign.

Then how can I ever in darkness remain?

Chorus

The Lord is my light; the Lord is my strength.

I know in his might I'll conquer at length.

My weakness in mercy he covers with pow'r,

And, walking by faith, I am blest every hour.

Chorus

The Lord is my light, my all and in all.

There is in his sight no darkness at all.

He is my Redeemer, my Savior, and King.

With Saints and with angels his praises I'll sing.

Chorus
