THE LXIII D PSALM . O God , thou art my only God , My Saviour and my King , Early thy face , O Lord , I seek , Thy praise I strive to sing . My fainting soul , when parch'd with thirst , To thee looks up for aid ; My wearied flesh by barren lands And drought is sore dismay'd . Thus have I sought my heav'nly King In holiness to see ; Oh , let my soul confess thy power , And glory still in thee . Far better than the life itself Thy kindness do I prize , My lips thy praises shall rehearse For ever on this wise . For ever magnify my God , And still record his fame , My hands while I have life , lift up In honour of his name . Thus shall my soul be satisfied , Even as with daintiest meat , When I with joyful lips thy praise For evermore repeat .
