¶Liedtext

Early, O Lord, my fainting soul Thy mercy does implore; No traveller in desert lands Can thirst for water more. I long to appear as I was wont, Within thy holy place, Thy pow'r and glory to behold, And to partake thy grace. For life itself without thy love No relish can afford; No other joys can equal this: To serve and praise the Lord. I'll therefore make my pray'rs to thee, And bless thee whilst I live; This, like the choicest dainties, will Both food and pleasure give. When others sleep, my wakeful thoughts Present thee to my mind; And in the night I think how good My God has been and kind. Since thou alone hast been my help, To thee alone I fly; And on thy watchful providence With cheerfulness rely. Dangers, whilst thou art near to me, Do threaten me in vain, When I keep close to God, his care And pow'r will me sustain.
