Text:Desiring Communion with God
Author:Beddome

XCVII. Desiring Communion with God

1 My rising soul, with strong desires,
To perfect happiness aspires,
With steady steps would tread the road,
That leads to heaven, that leads of God.

2 I thirst to drink unmingled love,
From pure fountain-head above;
My dearest Lord, I long to be
Empty'd of sin, and full of thee.

3 For thee I pant, for thee I burn,
Art thou withdrawn? again return,
Nor let me be the first to say,
Thou wilt not hear when sinners pray.
