English text

Send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me,
And let them bring me to Thy holy hill.

O God, then will I go unto Thy altar,
And we will praise Thee on the harp, O our God.

Send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me,
And let them bring me to Thy holy hill.

Why, O soul, art thou sorrowful,
And why cast down within me?
Still trust the loving-kindness of the God of thy strength,
And my tongue yet shall praise him, who hath pleaded my cause.

Send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me,
And let them bring me to Thy holy hill.

Lord our God! Thou wilt save thine anointed,
Thou wilt hear us from heaven;
Though in chariots some put their faith, our trust is in thee!
They are brought down and fallen,
But the Lord is our helper, we shall not be afraid.

Send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me,
And let them bring me to Thy holy hill.
