Thirsting And Trusting

Tune: Southwell

(\'Lord Jesus, think on me\')

Psalm 63 v.1-5

********

O God, you my God are

You be near, and not far

Early will I seek you, my soul

Thirsts for you, make me whole

 

My flesh longs for you here

O do to me appear

I long as in dry thirsty land

To see your guiding hand

 

A land, no water left

Yet I not be bereft

But I long to see your power

And glory every hour

 

For I have them so seen

In sanctuary have been

And too your loving-kindness be

Better than life to me

 

So shall my lips praise you

I will bless you anew

Will bless you while I live, and raise

My hands to your name praise

 

My soul it shall be sure

Satisfied with your store

Abundantly you will provide

Praise to you I not hide
