O God, Thou Art My God Alone

Verse 1

O God, thou art my God alone; early to thee my soul shall cry, a pilgrim in a land unknown, a thirsty land whose springs are dry.

Verse 2

Yet through this rough and thorny maze I follow hard on thee, my God; thy hand unseen upholds my ways; I safely tread where thou hast trod.

Verse 3

Thee in the watches of the night when I remember on my bed, thy presence makes the darkness light; thy guardian wings are round my head.

Verse 4

Better than life itself, thy love, dearer than all beside to me, for whom have I in heaven above, or what on earth, compared with thee?

Verse 5

Praise with my heart, my mind, my voice, for all thy mercy I will give; my soul shall still in God rejoice; my tongue shall bless thee while I live.
