1. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh longs for thee in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water;
2. in this manner I beheld thee in holiness when I beheld thy power and thy glory.
3. Because thy mercy is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4. Thus will I bless thee in my life; in thy name shall I lift up my hands.
