Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #170 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
Early, my God, without delay,
I haste to seek thy face,
My thirsty spirit faints away,
Without thy cheering grace;
So pilgrims on the scorching sand,
Beneath a burning sky,
Long for a cooling stream at hand,
And they must drink or die.
