23. I Shall Be Satisfied

1 God my rock, my strength sustaining,
Why cast off my soul distressed?
Why am I in grief complaining,
By the pow’r of foes oppressed?

Refrain:
I shall be satisfied,
I shall be satisfied,
When I wake with Thy likeness;
I shall be satisfied,
I shall be satisfied,
When I wake with Thy likeness.

2 Now Thy light and truth forth sending,
Let them lead and guide me still,
Guide me to Thy house ascending,
Lead me to Thy holy hill. [Refrain]

3 There Thine altar, Lord, surrounding,
God, my God, my boundless joy,
Harp and voice aloud resounding,
Praise shall all my pow’rs employ. [Refrain]

4 Why my soul cast down and grieving?
Why within me such distress?
Hope in God, His help receiving,
God my life, I yet shall bless. [Refrain]
