Verse 1
O GOD, Thou art in Jesus mine:
For Thee I sigh, for Thee I pine
And pant thy Power to prove
My longing Soul implores thy Grace,
In a dry barren Wilderness
Unwatred by thy Love.
Verse 2
Thee, Thee my restless Heart requires
And all I Am with Pain desires
Thy Glorious Power to see
To see Thee, as I once beheld,
My Pardning GOD in Christ reveal’d,
My GOD who died for me.
Verse 3
Thy Love doth all Delights exceed,
Thy pretious Love is Life indeed;
My Lips shall sing thy Praise:
My Hands I lift in Jesu’s Name,
My Life and Strength, and All I AM
Shall glorify thy Grace.
Verse 4
Thee, Lord, my latest Breath shall bless
My joyful Lips shall never cease
To glory in thy Love;
My Soul shall feast on Heavenly Meat
With rapt’rous Joy thy Praise repeat,
Nor envy Those above.
Verse 5
On Thee I muse with vast Delight
Thro’ all the happy sleepless Night
I lean as on thy Breast
Beneath the shadow of thy Wing
Jesus my Peace, my Joy, I sing
My Everlasting Rest.
Verse 6
My Soul pursues and hangs on Thee,
Thy Hand upholds and strengthens me;
And me Thou still shalt save
From All who seek my Soul to slay;
My Foes shall fall to Beasts a Prey,
Or sink into the Grave.
Verse 7
Who deal in Lies and Perjury
Forever stopt their Mouth shall be;
But who their GOD revere
With Jesus Kings shall lift their Voice,
With Jesu’s Confessors rejoice
And reign Triumphant here.
