With all my heart I've sought thy face

1

With all my heart I've sought thy face,O let me never strayFrom thy commands, O God of grace!Nor tread the sinner's way.

2

Thy word I 've hid within my heartTo keep my conscience clean,And be an everlasting guardFrom every rising sin.

3

My ear with sacred reverence hearsThe threatenings of thy word;My flesh, with holy trembling, fearsThe judgments of the Lord.

4

My God! I long, I hope, I wait,For thy salvation still;While thy whole law is my delight,And I obey thy will.
