O Lord, My God, Most Earnestly

Hymnal: H4Y1966 #11 (1966) 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. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English Tune Title: STRACATHRO

Yet I may love thee too, O Lord, Almighty as thou art; For thou hast stooped to ask of me The love of my poor heart. 4. No earthly father loves like thee, No mother, half so mild, Bears and forbears as thou hast done With me, thy sinful child. 5.

Most blessed, most glorious, the ancient of days, Almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise. 2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might; Thy justice like mountains high soaring above Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love. 3. To all life thou givest--to both great and small; In all life thou livest, the true life of all; We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, And wither and perish, but naught changeth thee. 4. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; All prase we would render; O help us to see 'Tis only the splendor of light hideth thee.
