72 ~ Early, my God, Without Delay
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.
