Longing after GOD; or, The Lives of GOD better than Life
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #108b (1740) Topics: Converse with God First Line: Great GOD, indulge my humble Claim Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, indulge my humble Claim,
Thou art my Hope, my Joy, my Rest;
The Glories that compose thy Name
Stand all engag'd 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 Travellers 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 Pow'r of Sov'reign 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 chearful Passion so.
6 My Life itself without thy Love
No Taste of Pleasure could afford;
'Twould but a tiresome Burden prove,
If I were banish'd 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. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English
Longing after GOD; or, The Lives of GOD better than Life
Seeking GOD
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #109 (1740) Topics: Converse with God First Line: My God, permit my Tongue Lyrics: 1 My GOD, permit my Tongue
This Joy, to call Thee mine;
And let my early Cries prevail
To taste thy Love divine.
2 My thirsty fainting Soul
Thy Mercy doth implore;
Not Travellers in Desert Lands
Can pant for Water more.
3 Within thy Churches, Lord,
I long to find my Place;
Thy Pow'r and Glory to behold,
And feel thy quick'ning Grace.
4 For Life without thy Love
No Relish can afford;
No Joy can be compar'd with this,
To serve and please the Lord.
5 To Thee I'll lift my Hands,
And praise Thee while I live;
Not the rich Dainties of a Feast
Such Food and Pleasure give.
6 In wakeful Hours at Night
I call my GOD to Mind;
I think how wise thy Counsels are,
And all thy Dealings kind.
7 Since thou hast been my Help,
To thee my Spirit flies,
And on thy watchful Providence
My chearful Hope relies.
8 The Shadow of thy Wings
My Soul in Safety keeps!
I follow where my Father leads,
And he supports my Steps. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English

And while Salvation long delays,
Thy Word supports my Hope.
3 Seven Times a Day I lift my Hands,
And pay my Thanks to Thee.
Thy righteous Providence demands
Repeated Praise from me.
4 When Midnight Darkness veils the Skies,

To Thee, before the dawning Light
So let our lips and lives express
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns and Psalms for Social and Private Worship (6th ed.) #209 (1827) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: A Conversation becoming the Gospel Scripture: Titus 2:10-13 Languages: English
So let our lips and lives express
Our life is but a span
Author: Stephen Greenleaf Bulfinch Hymnal: Singers and Songs of the Liberal Faith #239 (1875) Topics: Conversation with Nicodemus
Our life is but a span
Let Pharisees of high esteem
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #316 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Converse with God Lyrics:
Let Pharisees of high esteem
Their faith and zeal declare,
All their religion is a dream,
If love be wanting there.
Love suffers long with patient eye,
Nor is provoked in haste;
She lets the present injury die,
And long forgets the past.
[Malice and rage, those fires of hell,
She quenches with her tongue;
Hopes and believes, and thinks no ill,
Though she endure the wrong.]
[She nor desires nor seeks to know
The scandals of the time;
Nor looks with pride on those below,
Nor envies those that climb.]
She lays her own advantage by
To seek her neighbor's good;
So God's own Son came down to die,
And bought our lives with blood.
Love is the grace that keeps her power
In all the realms above;
There faith and hope are known no more,
But saints for ever love.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:2-7 Languages: English
Let Pharisees of high esteem
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #319 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Converse with God Lyrics:
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech, that angels use,
If love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.
Were I inspired to preach and tell
All that is done in heav'n and hell;
Or could my faith the world remove,
Still I am nothing without love.
Should I distribute all my store
To feed the bowels of the poor,
Or give my body to the flame,
To gain a martyr's glorious name;
If love to God and love to men
Be absent, all my hopes are vain;
Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal,
The work of love can e'er fulfil.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Languages: English
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
When Jesus, our great Master, came

To thee, before the dawning light
My gracious God, I pray;
I meditate thy name by night,
And keep thy law by day.
My spirit faints to see thy grace,
Thy promise bears me up;
And while salvation long delays,
Thy word supports my hope.
Seven times a day I lift my hands,
And pay my thanks to thee;
Thy righteous providence demands
Repeated praise from me.
When midnight darkness veils the skies,
I call thy works to mind;
My thoughts in warm devotion rise,
And sweet acceptance find.
Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English
To thee, before the dawning light
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #453 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Converse with God Lyrics:
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
By faith and love in every breast;
Then shall we know, and taste, and feel
The joys that cannot be expressed.
Come, fill our hearts with inward strength,
Make our enlarged souls possess,
And learn the height, and breadth, and length
Of thine unmeasurable grace.
Now to the God whose power can do
More than our thoughts or wishes know,
Be everlasting honors done
By all the church, through Christ his Son.
Scripture: Ephesians 3:16 Languages: English
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
