Lord, thee my God, I'll early seek

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, thee my God, I’ll early seek: my soul doth thirst for thee; my flesh longs in a dry parched land, wherein no waters be: 2 that I thy power may behold, and brightness of thy face, as I have seen thee heretofore within thy holy place. 3 Since better is thy love than life, my lips thee praise shall give. 4 I in thy name will lift my hands, and bless thee while I live. 5 Even as with marrow and with fat my soul shall filled be; then shall my mouth with joyful lips sing praises unto thee. 6 When I do thee upon my bed remember with delight, I meditate on thee throughout the watches of the night. 7 In shadow of thy wings I’ll joy; for thou mine help hast been. 8 My soul thee follows hard; and me thy right hand doth sustain. 9 To lowest depths of earth shall go those who my soul would slay; 10 They by the sword shall perish all, of foxes be the prey. 11 Yet shall the king in God rejoice, and each one glory shall that swear by him; but stopped shall be the mouth of liars all.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold what witnesses unseen encompass us around, who, once like us, with suffering tried, but now with glory crowned. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, begin the Christian race, and, freed from each encumbering weight, their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a witness nobler still, who trod affliction's path, Jesus, at once the finisher and author of our faith. 4 He for the joy before him set, so generous was his love, endured the cross, despised the shame, and now he reigns above. 5 Then let our hearts no more despond, our hands be weak no more; still let us trust our Father's love, his wisdom still adore.
