Satisfy Us Early

Verse 1

Satisfy us early with thy mercy, Lord, Teach our hearts thy goodness, and our lips thy praise; Guide us by thy Spirit, aid us with thy word, So may we, rejoicing, Serve thee all our days.

Chorus

Thus rejoicing early, we shall tell thy praise, Satisfied with Jesus, happy all our days.

Verse 2

Satisfy us early, give the Bread of Life, Bind our souls in union with the One True Vine; Faithful, not faint-hearted in this earthly strife, Evermore to conquer, for our strength is thine.

Verse 3

Satisfy us early, in youth's gladsome spring, Show our hearts the beauty holiness bestows; Let our hopes soar upward, round thy throne to cling, Keep us firm to duty 'midst a world of foes.

Verse 4

Satisfy us early, ere the dark days come, Let our youthful gladness win its light from thee; Travel on, rejoicing, drawing nearer home, Satisfied forever all thine own to be.
