EN 1112 Great God, Indulge My Humble Claim

Ps.63.4

Versi Version 1

1

Great God, indulge my humble claim,

Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest;

The glories that compose Thy Name

Stand all engaged to make me blest.

2

Thou great and good, thou just and wise,

Thou art my Father and my God;

And I am Thine by sacred ties;

Thy son, Thy servant, bought with blood.

3

With heart, and eyes, and lifted hands,

For Thee I long, to Thee I look,

As travelers in thirsty lands

Pant for the cooling water brook.

4

With early feet I love t’ appear

Among Thy saints, and seek Thy face;

Oft have I seen Thy glory there,

And felt the power of sovereign grace.

5

Not fruits nor wines that tempt our taste,

Nor all the joys our senses know,

Could make me so divinely blest,

Or raise my cheerful passions so.

6

My life itself without Thy love

No taste of pleasure could afford;

’Twould but a tiresome burden prove,

If I were banished from the Lord.

7

Amidst the wakeful hours of night,

When busy cares afflict my head,

One thought of Thee gives new delight,

And adds refreshment to my bed.

8

I’ll lift my hands, I’ll raise my voice,

While I have breath to pray or praise;

This work shall make my heart rejoice,

And spend the remnant of my days.
