Psalm 42:8 (KJV)
Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
Yet shall the Lord in daytime’s golden light
Command His lovingkindness to descend,
A tender mercy falling pure and bright,
To shield and succor till the day shall end.
And when the night enfolds the quiet earth,
His song shall rise within my spirit’s keep—
A melody of more than mortal worth,
To guard my heart while all the world lies asleep.
Thus day and night my prayer ascends on high
Unto the God who gives me life and breath;
No darkness quells the hope that cannot die,
Nor drowns the voice that triumphs over death.
So love by day and song by night abide—
My soul’s true refuge, where my trust resides.
