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:
