More Than Life

Verse 1

O Lord, my God, most earnestly my heart would seek Thy face, within Thy holy house once more to see Thy glorious grace. Apart from Thee I long and thirst, and naught can satisfy; I wander in a desert land where all the streams are dry.

Verse 2

The loving-kindness of my God is more than life to me; so I will bless Thee while I live and lift my prayer to Thee. In Thee my soul is satisfied, my darkness turns to light, and joyful meditations fill the watches of the night.

Verse 3

My Savior, 'neath thy shelt'ring wings my soul delights to dwell; still closer to Thy side I press, for near Thee all is well. My soul shall conquer every foe, upholden by Thy hand; Thy people shall rejoice in God, Thy saints in glory stand.
