Tune: Song 46
('Drop, drop, slow tears')
*********
Slowing a pace, help us see you good grace
As we by faith humbly behold your face
Though cannot be seen, mortal view alone
But only through Christ, who does now atone
I dare not trust to my own righteousness
But sole in Christ, and my poor state confess
Confess my poverty, my sin, leave not
Lord, for without you 'tis unhappy lot
But comforted by your forgiveness, love
And eternal life through your Spirit, [the] dove
Psalm 61 v.4
Here I will bide, in your tabernacle
Will trust in the shelter of your wings all
Psalm 62 v.5
My soul, wait you only upon God true
My expectation, good He shall me do
Psalm 63 v.1
O God, early I seek you, thus I will
I long for you, satisfy my thirst still
Psalm 63 v.6
You I remember through life's nights and days
Meditate on you, give you worthy praise

May God be praised for your writings Orchi.
Thanks Gold. Aww, but why no one praise me for me singing? Meeoowwooo! lol.
Now yours I do read beyond the first stanza even if I don't always comment.
Thanks M. I waffle on a bit sometimes and get a bit long. Long-winded?!
Silent ?
MY SOUL weeps for the Presence of GOD
MY SPIRIT longs to be with GOD in Heaven
MY SENSES tell me ~ Where JESUS is it is HEAVEN
BRIAN ~ Living in the Spirit ~ AMEN
Thanks UNCLE STEVE for an awesome HYMN and an equally awesome ODE & Scriptures ! Very Very uplifting @ the end of a busy Friday !
Yours as ever BRIAN the BLESSED !
Thanks Brian. Though the original hymn is a bit mournful, I thought the tune fitted to a meditative sort of hymn-poem.
