Text: | With My Whole Heart I've Sought Thy Face |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | HEREFORD |
Composer: | Frederick Arthur Gore-Ouseley |
Media: | MIDI file |
1 With my whole heart I’ve sought Thy face:
O let me never stray
From Thy commands, O God of grace,
Nor tread the sinner’s way.
2 Thy word I’ve hid within my heart
To keep my conscience clean,
And be an everlasting guard
From every rising sin.
3 I’m a companion of the saints
Who fear and love the Lord;
My sorrows rise, my nature faints,
When men transgress Thy Word.
4 While sinners do Thy Gospel wrong
My spirit stands in awe;
My soul abhors a lying tongue,
But loves Thy righteous law.
5 My heart with sacred reverence hears
The threatenings of Thy Word;
My flesh with holy trembling fears
The judgments of the Lord.
6 My God, I long, I hope, I wait,
For Thy salvation still;
While Thy whole law is my delight,
And I obey Thy will.
