|
<p>My God, permit my tongue<br>
|
|
This joy, to call Thee mine;<br>
|
|
And let my early cries prevail<br>
|
|
To taste Thy love divine.</p>
|
|
<p>My thirsty, fainting soul<br>
|
|
Thy mercy doth implore;<br>
|
|
Not travelers in desert lands<br>
|
|
Can pant for water more.</p>
|
|
<p>Within Thy churches, Lord,<br>
|
|
I long to find my place;<br>
|
|
Thy power and glory to behold,<br>
|
|
And feel Thy quick’ning grace.</p>
|
|
<p>For life without Thy love<br>
|
|
No relish can afford;<br>
|
|
No joy can be compared to this,<br>
|
|
To serve and please the Lord.</p>
|
|
<p>To Thee I’ll lift my hands,<br>
|
|
And praise Thee while I live;<br>
|
|
Not the rich dainties of a feast<br>
|
|
Such food or pleasure give.</p>
|
|
<p>In wakeful hours at night<br>
|
|
I call my God to mind;<br>
|
|
I think how wise Thy counsels are,<br>
|
|
And all Thy dealings kind.</p>
|
|
<p>Since thou hast been my help,<br>
|
|
To Thee my spirit flies,<br>
|
|
And on Thy watchful providence<br>
|
|
My cheerful hope relies.</p>
|
|
<p>The shadow of Thy wings<br>
|
|
My soul in safety keeps;<br>
|
|
I follow where my Father leads,<br>
|
|
And He supports my steps.</p>
