Psalms and Hymns to the Living God ‎#63A

63A. O Lord, my God, Most Earnestly

1 O Lord, my God, most earnestly
my heart would seek Thy face,
within Thy holy house once more
to see Thy glorious grace.
Apart from Thee I long and thirst,
and naught can satisfy;
I wander in a desert land
where all the streams are dry.

2 The loving-kindness of my God
is more than life to me;
so I will bless Thee while I live
and lift my prayer to Thee.
In Thee my soul is satisfied,
my darkness turns to light,
and joyful meditations fill
the watches of the night.

3 My Savior, 'neath thy shelt'ring wings
my soul delights to dwell;
still closer to Thy side I press,
for near Thee all is well.
My soul shall conquer every foe,
upholden by Thy hand;
Thy people shall rejoice in God,
Thy saints in glory stand.
