O God, my God, for You I long;
My soul athirst sings You its song.
My body lies, a stretch of sand;
It pines for water from Your Hand.
In Your High Place, on You I gaze,
To watch Your glory brightly blaze.

Far more than life is this, Your Love,
My lips will chant Your praise above.
I bless You, Lord, my whole life through,
I lift my hands to honor You.
My soul shall feast on Sacred Food,
With joyful lips, I praise your good.

In bed, I think always of You;
On You I muse the long night through.
For You, my Help, have sent your rays—
Your Spirit’s joy for all my days.
O You, my soul will ever grip;
Your Hand will never let me slip.
