Oh GOD, my gracious GOD, to thee

Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh GOD, my gracious GOD, to thee My Morning Pray'rs shall offer'd be; For thee my thirsty Soul doth pant; My parched Flesh implores thy Grace, Within this dry and barren Place, Where I refreshing Waters want. 2 Oh! to my longing Eyes, once more, That View of glorious Pow'r restore, Which thy majestic House displays: Because to me, thy wond'rous Love, Than Life itself does dearer prove, My Lips shall always speak thy Praise. 3 My Life, while I that Life enjoy, In blessing GOD I will employ, With lifted Hands adore his Name: My soul's Content shall be as great, As theirs, who choicest Dainties eat, While I with Joy his Praise proclaim. 4 When down I lie, sweet Sleep to find, Thou, LORD, art present to my Mind; And when I wake in Dead of Night: Because thou still dost Succour bring, Beneath the Shadow of thy Wing I rest with Safety and Delight. 5 My Soul, when Foes would me devour, Cleaves fast to thee, whose matchless Pow'r, In her Support is daily shown: But those the righteous LORD shall slay, That my Destruction wish, and they That seek my Life, shall lose their own. 6 They by untimely Ends shall die, Their Flesh a Prey to Foxes lie, But GOD shall fill the King with Joy: Who swears by thee, shall still rejoice; Whilst the false Tongue, and lying Voice, Thou, LORD, shalt silence and destroy.

Just as Thou wilt, if but it be To bring me, blesséd Lord, to Thee! 4 My God, I know not where I die, Where is my grace, beneath what strand; Yet from its gloom I do rely To be delivered by Thy hand. Content, I take what spot is mine, Since all the earth, my Lord, is Thine. 5 My gracious God, when I must die, Oh, bear my happy soul above, With Christ, my Lord, eternally To share Thy glory and Thy love: Then comes it right and well to me, When, where, and how my death shall be.

In Constancy, in Zeal and Love May we resemble those above. 5 On us our daily Bread bestow, From thee alone all Blessings flow. External Plenty cannot be A Blessing, but when bless'd by thee. On thee, our FATHER, we rely, That thou wilt all our wants supply. 6 Our Debts forgive us, LORD, as we Forgive our Debtors, - For with thee Forgiveness is, through CHRIST thy Son, Whose Blood did for our Guilt attone. Let mutual Love and Charity Be Proofs of our Sincerity. 7 Into Temptation lead us not, - Though we re weak, and En'mies plot, Though Satan, Would and Flesh combine Against us, and our Hurt design; May we, by thine Almighty Aid, Ev'n more than conquerors be made. 8 LORD from all Evil set us free, And make us more conform'd to thee; And as our Journey's End is Death, when called to resign our Breath, O may thy everlasting Love Receive us to thy Joys above. 9 For thine's the Kingdom, thine the Pow'r, And thine the Glory evermore, Firmly in thee our Souls confide, The Pray'r of Faith was ne'er deny'd. Amen, so let it be, O LORD, According to thy gracious Word. Used With Tune: [Our Father, who in Heaven art]
