[Songs in the Night - January 29]
The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation.
Exodus 15:2
THE Lord is our strength; we lean not upon human
might—neither of our own or of other men.
We hold
the Head, from whom not only come the laws which
govern us, but from whom come the strength, the direction,
the protection, the care, which we need and
which we enjoy.
The Lord is become our salvation; he
has saved us from the condemnation of sin through
faith in the blood; he has rescued us from the love of
sin.
He has not only revived us, but strengthened us,
and enabled us to walk in the narrow way, and to do
so with joy and gladness and leaping.
He is our salvation
already—the salvation that is to be brought unto
us, and thus to be complete in us, in the first resurrection,
is already begun—for we are already passed
from death unto life, and have the witness of this in
the Holy Spirit. Z'02-10 R2934:4 (Hymn 120)
