Delight in God
John Ryland (1777) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 23:1
Verse 1
O Lord, I would delight in thee, and on thy care depend; to thee in ev'ry trouble flee, my best, my only friend.
Verse 2
When all created streams are dried, thy fulness is the same: may I with this be satisfied, and glory in thy name.
Verse 3
No good in creatures can be found but may be found in thee; I must have all things and abound, while God is God to me.
Verse 4
He that has made my heav'n secure will here all good provide; while Christ is rich can I be poor? What can I want beside?
Verse 5
O Lord, I cast my care on thee; I triumph and adore; henceforth my great concern shall be to love and please thee more.
