- 1My God! permit my tongue
- This joy, to call thee mine;
- And let my early cries prevail
- To taste thy love divine.
- 2My thirsty fainting soul
- Thy mercy doth implore;
- Not travelers, in desert lands,
- Can pant for water more.
- 3For life, without thy love,
- No relish can afford;
- No joy can be compared to this,
- To serve and please the Lord.
- 4In wakeful hours at night,
- I call my God to mind;
- I think how wise thy counsels are,
- And all thy dealings kind.
- 5Since thou hast been my help,
- To thee my spirit flies;
- And, on thy watchful providence,
- My cheerful hope relies.
- 6The shadow of thy wings
- My soul in safety keeps;
- I follow where my Father leads,
- And he supports my steps.
