1 O Lord, thou know'st my Soul's Desires,
And thou canst give me perfect Ease;
Thou art the Good my Heart admires,
There's nothing but thy Love can please.

2 Give me, O Lord, the Happiness
To sit and hear thy gracious Voice;
Come, Saviour, come, my soul possess,
And make my mourning Heart rejoice.

3 Lord, I would praise thy holy Name,
Thou art my everlasting Friend;
Thou hast not put my Soul to shame;
Preserve me safe unto the End.

4 Thou art my Strength, and my Support,
My Hope, my everlasting Aid
To Thee I always would resort,
And trust in Thee when I'm afraid.

5 Thy Name affords my Soul relief,
When I with Sorrows am opprest;
When I am full of woe and Grief,
Thy word doth give my Spirit rest.

6 Teach me to do thy holy Will,
Unite my Heart to fear thy Name;
O lead me to thy heav'nly Hill,
Where stands the new Jerusalem.

7 Were not the Lord of Hosts my Strength
I should have sunk in deep Despair;
But now I trust I shall at length
Arrive at Canaan's Harbour fair;

8 There shall I rest for Evermore,
Fearless of Storms, and raging Seas,
And sit upon the heav'nly Shore,
And dwell at everlasting Ease.
