Text: | Early, my God, without delay |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | LAUREL HILL |
Composer: | Unknown |
1 Early, my God, without delay,
I haste to seek thy face,
My thirsty spirit faints away
Without thy cheering grace.
2 So pilgrims on the scorching sand,
Beneath a burning sky,
Long for a cooling stream at hand,
And they must drink or die.
3 I've seen thy glory and thy power
Through all thy temple shine:
My God, repeat that heavenly hour,
That vision so divine.
4 Not life itself, with all its joys,
Can my best passions move,
Or raise so high my cheerful voice
As thy forgiving love.
