Lyrics: Tate and Brady
Tune: Anon.
Meter: C.M. (8.6.8.6)

For Thee, my God, the living God,
My thirsty Soul doth pine:
O when shall I behold thy face,
Thou majesty divine?

One trouble calls another on;
And, bursting o'er my head.
Fall spouting down, till round my soul
A roaring sea is spread.

But when thy presence, Lord of life,
Has once dispelled this storm,
To Thee I'll midnight anthems sing,
And all my vows perform.
