100. Satisfy us Early

1 Satisfy us early with thy mercy, Lord,
Teach our hearts thy goodness, and our lips thy praise;
Guide us by thy Spirit, aid us with thy word,
So may we, rejoicing, Serve thee all our days.

Chorus:
Thus rejoicing early, we shall tell thy praise,
Satisfied with Jesus, happy all our days.

2 Satisfy us early, give the Bread of Life,
Bind our souls in union with the One True Vine;
Faithful, not faint-hearted in this earthly strife,
Evermore to conquer, for our strength is thine. [Chorus]

3 Satisfy us early, in youth's gladsome spring,
Show our hearts the beauty holiness bestows;
Let our hopes soar upward, round thy throne to cling,
Keep us firm to duty 'midst a world of foes. [Chorus]

4 Satisfy us early, ere the dark days come,
Let our youthful gladness win its light from thee;
Travel on, rejoicing, drawing nearer home,
Satisfied forever all thine own to be. [Chorus]
