Hymnal: The Hymnbook #327 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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.
2 Apart from Thee I long and thirst,
And nought can satisfy;
I wander in a desert land
Where all the streams are dry.
3 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.
4 In Thee my soul is satisfied,
My darkness turns to light,
And joyful meditations fill
The watches of the night.
5 My Saviour, 'neath Thy sheltering wings
My soul delights to dwell;
Still closer to Thy side I press,
For near Thee all is well.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; Christ Strength and Refuge; Contentment; God Love and Fatherhood; Hope; Serenity; Life in Christ Hope and Aspiration Scripture: Psalm 63 Tune Title: STRACATHRO
