Troubling Times



Behold the beauty of the Lord
  And thy face will I seek.
He is the rock of my salvation
  and my strength when I am weak.
When foes encamp against me
  Of whom shall I fear?
My heart will not be troubled
  For He is always near,
In times of trouble He shall hide me
  In His secret dwelling place,
He lifts me o'er the enemy
  thank God for love and grace!
Be strong and of good courage
  Sing praises with thy voice
Wait upon the Lord now
  Let thy happy heart rejoice!
