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 naught 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 Savior, ’neath Thy sheltering wings
My soul delights to dwell;
Still closer to Thy side I press,
For near Thee all is well.

6. My soul shall conquer every foe,
Upholden by Thy hand;
Thy people shall rejoice in God,
Thy saints in glory stand.
