O Lord, My God, Most Earnestly

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 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 nought 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 pray'r 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 ev'ry foe, upholden by thy hand; thy people shall rejoice in God, thy saints in glory stand. Scripture: Psalm 63 Used With Tune: THE GREEN HILL Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 244 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen That radiant form of thine; The veil of sense hangs dark between Thy blessed face and mine. 2 I see thee not, I hear thee not, Yet art thou oft with me; And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot As where I meet with thee. 3 Yet though I have not seen, and still Must rest in faith alone; I love thee, dearest Lord, and will, Unseen, but not unknown. 4 When death these mortal eyes shall seal, And still this throbbing heart, The rending veil shall thee reveal, All glorious as thou art.

Fill Thou My Life, O Lord My God

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 102 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Fill thou my life, O Lord my God, in ev'ry part with praise, that my whole being may proclaim thy being and thy ways. Not for the lip of praise alone, nor e'en the praising heart, I ask, but for a life made up of praise in ev'ry part: 2 Praise in the common words I speak, life's common looks and tones, in fellowship enjoyed at home with my beloved ones, enduring wrong, reproach, or loss with sweet and steadfast will, forgiving freely those who hate, returning good for ill. 3 So shall each fear, each fret, each care be turned into a song, and ev'ry winding of the way the echo shall prolong. So shall no part of day or night from sacredness be free, but all my life, in ev'ry step, be fellowship with thee. Scripture: Psalm 34:1 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
