Thirsting Times

Tune: Hursley

('Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear')

Psalm 63 v.1-8

**********

O God, you are my God, early

Will I seek you, I thirsty be

For you in a dry, thirsty land

Provide me water by your hand* (*Spirit)

I desire to see your power

And glory, as I saw each hour

In your temple, for you are kind

And loving to me, that your mind

So my lips will praise you, I will

Bless you while I live, praises still

I will give, and lift up my hands

To worship you, Lord of all lands

My soul shall so be satisfied

With the best you give, not denied

My mouth shall praise you with joyful

Lips, and confess you Lord of all

When I remember you upon

My bed at night, you are the one

I meditate on if I wake

In the night, comfort from you take

Because you have been my help, stay

I too shall praise you in the day

In shadow of your wings rejoice

My soul follows you close, makes choice
