I Will Take Joy (Habakkuk’s Song)

The Lord is in His dwelling-place

keep silence before Him, oh earth

Come worship Him in spirit

And in truth declare His worth

Though the fig tree should not blossom,

nor fruit be on the vines,

the produce of the olive fail

And no food in the fields you find

I will take joy, I will take joy

in the God of my salvation.

Adonai, He is my strength;

And He is my firm foundation

Though the flock be cut off from the fold

and there be no herd in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the Lord;

For He is Lord of all

He makes me tread on high places.

He makes my feet like the deer’s;

In my Lord my hope remains

I will rest in  him in holy fear

I will take joy , I will take joy

in the God of my salvation.

God, the Lord, He is my strength;

And He is my firm foundation

I will take joy , I will take joy

in the God of my salvation.

God, the Lord, He is my strength;

And He is my firm foundation
