O GOD of love, my God Thou art;

O GOD of love, my God Thou art; To Thee I early cry; Refresh with grace my thirsty heart, For earthly springs are dry.

Thy power, Thy glory let me see, As seen by saints above; ' Tis sweeter, Lord, than life to me, To share and sing Thy love.

I freely yield Thee all my powers, Yet ne'er my debt can pay; The thought of Thee at midnight hours Turns darkness into day.

Lord, Thou hast been my help, and Thou My refuge still shalt be; Hollow hard Thy footsteps now; Oh! when Thy face to see?
