Hymnal: The Psalter #163 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O Lord, my God, most earnestly 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 prayer to Thee.
In Thee my soul is satisfied,
My darkness turns to light,
And joyful meditations fill
The watches of the night.
3 My Saviour, '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.
