A Selection of Psalms and Hymns‎#CCLII

Text:	Seeking the Lord
Author:	Dr. Watts

1 Often I seek my Lord by night;
JESUS, my love, my soul's delight
With warm desire and restless thought,
I seek him oft, but find him not.

2 Then I arise and search the street,
Till I my Lord, my Saviour meet:
I ask the watchmen of the night,
"Where did you see my soul's delight."

3 Sometimes I find him in my way,
Directed by a heav'nly ray;
I leap for joy to see his face,
And hold him fast in mine embrace.

4 He gives me there his bleeding heart,
Pierc'd for my sins with deadly smart;
I give my soul to him, and there,
Our loves their mutual tokens share.

5 I charge you all, ye earthly toys;
Approach not to disturb my joys;
Nor sin nor hell come near my heart,
Nor cause my Saviour to depart.
