1 With my whole heart I've sought thy face,
Oh 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 judgements 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.
