O God, thou art my God<br>
early will I seek Thee,<br>
will I seek Thee.<br>
My soul thirsteth for thee,<br>
my flesh also longeth after thee,<br>
in a barren and dryland<br>
where no water<br>
thus have I look'd for Thee<br>
in holiness<br>
that I might behold<br>
they pow'rand glory.<br>
For thy loving kindness<br>
is better than life itself.<br>
My lips shall praise thee.<br>
As long as I live <br>
will I magnify Thee<br>
on this manner<br>
and lift up my hands<br>
in thy name.<br>
Because thou hast been<br>
my helper therefore under<br>
the shadow of thy wings<br>
will I rejoice.<br>
Hallelujah!<br>
