I hunger now, I thirst for God: now this poor sinner's life renew, and satisfy with endless peace, and fill me with your righteousness. 4 Shine on your work, disperse the gloom, light in your light I'll see anew: say to my soul, 'Your light is come, glory divine is risen on you, your warfare's done, your mourning's past; look up, your tears shall end at last!'

So they from strength unwearied go forward unto strength, Till they appear in Zion before the Lord at length. 3 O hear, Lord God of Jacob, to me an answer yield; The face of thine Anointed, behold, O God, our shield. One day excels a thousand if spent thy courts within; I'll choose thy threshold, rather than dwell in tents of sin. 4 Our sun and shield, Jehovah, will grace and glory give; No good will he deny them that uprightly do live. O God of Hosts, Jehovah, how blest is ev'ry one Who confidence reposes on thee, O Lord, alone. Amen.
