1. Lord, thee my God, I'll early seek:my soul doth thirst for thee;My flesh longs in a dry parch'd land,wherein no waters be:
2. That I thy power may behold,and brightness of thy face,As I have seen thee heretoforewithin 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. Ev'n as with marrow and with fatmy soul shall filled be;Then shall my mouth with joyful lipssing praises unto thee:
6. When I do thee upon my bedremember with delight,And when on thee I meditatein watches of the night.
