I Cannot Seek Too Early

Verse 1

I cannot seek too early in the morning, I cannot come to Thee too late at night; Thou wilt receive me in the earliest dawning, And Thou wilt welcome in the darkest night.

Chorus

O God, Thou art my God; Early will I seek Thee, early will I seek Thee, O my God.

Verse 2

No evil can approach but Thou beholdest, No danger compass me but Thou art near; My trembling heart beneath Thy wing Thou foldest, Within Thy “secret place” can come no fear.

Verse 3

Shall I not seek Thee in life’s early morning, Shall I not cling to Thee thro' earthly night, Till Thou reveal to me the heavenly dawning, And I shall see Thy face, and “no more night”?
