Early to thee my soul shall cry;
A pilgrim in a land unknown,
A thirsty land whose springs are dry.
2 O that it were as it hath been!
When, praying in the holy place,
Thy pow'r and glory I have seen,
And marked the footsteps of thy grace.
3 Yet, through this rough and thorny maze,
I follow hard on thee, my God:
Thy hand, unseen, upholds my ways;
I safely tread where thou hast trod.
4 Thee, in the watches of the night,
When I remember on my bed,
Thy presence makes the darkness light,
Thy guardian wings are round my head.
5 Better than life itself thy love,
Dearer than all beside to me:
For whom have I in heav'n above,
Or what on earth, compared to thee?
6 Praise with my heart, my mind, my voice,
For all thy mercy I will give;
My soul shall still in God rejoice;
My tongue shall bless thee while I live.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Love for God; God Guardian; God Love and Grace of; Pilgrimage and Guidance Scripture: Psalm 63:1-8 Used With Tune: SARRATT
