For you are my God You alone are my joy, Defend me oh lord. You give marvelous comrades to me The faithful who dwell in your land Those who choose alien gods Have chosen an alien band For you are my God You alone are my joy Defend me oh lord. You are my portion and cup It is you that I claim for my prize Your heritage is my delight The lot you have given to me. For you are my God You alone are my joy, Defend me oh lord. Glad are my heart and my soul Securely my body shall rest For you will not leave me for dead Nor leave your beloved astray. For you are my God You alone are my joy Defend me oh lord. You show me the path for my life In your presence the fullness of joy, To be at your right hand forever, For me would be happiness always! For you are my God You alone are my joy Defend me oh lord. For you are my God You alone are my joy Defend me oh lord.
