Early, my GOD, without Delay

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P63a (1766) Topics: Meditation Lyrics: 1 Early, my GOD, without Delay, In haste to seek thy Face; My thirsty Spirit faints away Without thy chearing Grace. 2 So Pilgrims on the scorching Sand, Beneath a burning Sky, Long for a cooling Stream at hand, And they must drink or die. 3 I've seen thy glory and thy Pow'r Thro' all thy Temples shine; My GOD, repeat that heav'nly Hour, That Vision so divine. 4 Not all the Blessings of a Feast Can please my Soul so well, As when thy richer Grace I taste, And in thy Presence dwell. 5 Not Life itself, with all her Joys, Can my best Passions move, Or rise so high my chearful Voice, As thy forgiving Love. 6 Thus till my last expiring Day, I'll bless my GOD and King; Thus will I lift my Hands to pray, And tune my Lips to sing. Scripture: Psalm 63:1-5 Languages: English

'Twas in the Watches of the Night

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P63b (1766) Topics: Meditation Lyrics: 1 'Twas in the Watches of the Night I thought upon thy Pow'r, I kept thy lovely Face in Sight Amidst the darkest Hour. 2 My Flesh lay resting on my Bed, My Soul arose on high: "My GOD, my Life, my Hope, I said, "Bring thy Salvation nigh." 3 My Spirit labours up thine Hill, And climbs the heav'nly Road; But thy Right-hand upholds me still, While I pursue my GOD. 4 Thy Mercy stretches o'er my Head The Shadow of thy Wings; My Heart rejoices in thine Aid, My Tongue awakes and sings. 5 But the Destroyers of my Peace Shall fret and rage in vain; The Tempter shall for ever cease, And all my Sins be slain. 6 Thy Sword shall give my Foes to Death, And send them down to dwell In the dark Caverns of the Earth, Or to the Deeps of Hell. Scripture: Psalm 63:6-10 Languages: English

Great GOD, indulge my humble Claim

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P63c (1766) Topics: Meditation Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, indulge my humble Claim, Thou art my Hope, my Joy, my Rest; The Glories that compose thy Name, Stand all engag'd to make me blest. 2 Thou Great and Good, thou Just and Wise, Thou art my Father and my GOD; And I am thine by sacred Ties; Thy Son, thy Servant, bought with Blood 3 With Heart, and Eyes, and lifted Hands, For Thee I long, to Thee I look, As Travellers in thirsty Lands Pant for the cooling Water-brook. 4 With early Feet I love t' appear Among thy Saints, and seek thy Face, Oft have I seen thy Glory there, And felt the Pow'r of Sov'reign Grace. 5 Not Fruits nor Wines that tempt our Taste, Nor all the Joys our Senses know, Could make me so divinely blest, Or raise my chearful Passion so. 6 My Life itself without thy Love No Taste of Pleasure could afford; 'Twould but a tiresome Burden prove, If I were banish'd from the Lord. 7 Amidst the wakeful Hours of Night, When busy Cares afflict my Head, One Thought of Thee gives new Delight, And adds Refreshment to my Bed. 8 I'll lift my Hands, I'll raise my Voice, While I have Breath to pray or praise; This Work shall make my Heart rejoice, And spend the Remnant of my Days. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English

My God, permit my Tongue

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P63d (1766) Topics: Meditation Lyrics: 1 My GOD, permit my Tongue This Joy, to call thee mine; And let my early Cries prevail To taste thy Love divine. 2 My thirsty fainting Soul Thy Mercy doth implore; Not Travellers in Desert Lands, Can pant for Water more. 3 Within thy Churches, Lord, I long to find my Place, Thy Pow'r and Glory to behold, And feel thy quick'ning Grace. 4 For Life without thy Love No Relish can afford; No Joy can be compar'd with this, To serve and please the Lord. 5 To thee I'll lift my Hands, And praise Thee while I live; Not the rich Dainties of a Feast Such Food and Pleasure give. 6 In wakeful Hours at Night I call my GOD to Mind; I think how wise thy Counsels are, And all thy Dealings kind. 7 Since thou hast been my Help, To thee my Spirit flies, And on thy watchful Providence My chearful Hope relies. 8 The Shadow of thy Wings My Soul in Safety keeps! I follow where my Father leads, And he supports my Steps. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Sing Joyfully #71 (1989) Topics: Meditation Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heav'n, to earth come down; Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation; Enter every trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find that second rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore Thy temples leave: Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee: Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Love divine, all loves excelling]

I look to Thee in every need

Author: Rev. Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: The Hymnal #79 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Topics: Meditation Lyrics: 1 I look to Thee in every need, And never look in vain; I feel Thy strong and tender love, And all is well again: The thought of Thee is mightier far Than sin and pain and sorrow are. 2 Discouraged in the work of life, Disheartened by its load, Shamed by its failures or its fears, I sink beside the road; But let me only think of Thee And then new heart springs up in me. 3 Thy calmness bends serene above, My restlessness to still; Around me flows Thy quickening life, To nerve my faltering will: Thy presence fills my solitude; Thy providence turns all to good. 4 Embosomed deep in Thy dear love, Held in Thy law, I stand; Thy hand in all things I behold, And all things in Thy hand; Thou leadest me by unsought ways, And turn'st my mourning into praise. Amen. Tune Title: O JESU
