Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Tune: Justin Morgan
Meter: C.M.D. (8,6,8,6,8,6,8,6)

Early my God without delay
I haste to see thy face;
My thirsty spirit faints away
Without thy cheering grace;
So pilgrims on the scorching sand,
Beneath a burning sky,
Long for a cooling stream at hand,
And they must drink or die.

I've seen thy glory and thy pow'r
Through all thy temple shine;
My God repeat that heav'nly hour
That vision so divine.
Thus till my last expiring day,
I'll bless my God and King;
Thus will I lift my hands to pray,
And tune my lips to sing.
