O LORD, My God, Most Earnestly

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 20 Lyrics: 1 O LORD, my God, most earnestly I seek your holy face, within your house again to see the glories of your grace. Apart from you I long and thirst, and naught can satisfy; I wander in a desert land where all the streams are dry. 2 The loving-kindness of my God is more than life to me, so I will praise you all my days and pray continually. In you my soul is satisfied, my darkness turns to light, and joyful meditations fill the watches of the night. 3 Beneath the shadow of your wings I sing my joy and praise. Your right hand is my strong support through troubled nights and days. All those who seek my life will fall; my life is in your hand. God's king and people will rejoice; in victory they will stand.
