1 O God, thou art my God, therefore [Early] I'll seek near thee to be; In an unwatered weary land My [heart and] flesh doth thirst for thee.
1 O God, thou art my God, therefore [Early] I'le seek near thee to be; In an unwater'd weary land My [heart and] flesh doth thirst for thee.
2 That I thy power may behold, And [see the] glory of thy face, As I have seen thee heretofore Within thy [house and] holy place.
3 Because thy loving kindness is Better than [life and]- length of days; My joyful soul which thou hast saved, And lips shall [ever] give thee praise.
3 Because thy loving kindness is Better than [life and]- length of days; My joyful soul which thou hast sav'd, And lips shall [ever] give thee praise.
4 While thou continuest me in life, Thus will I [daily] speak thy praise; In worshipping thy holy name My [heart and] hands I will up raise.
