“O God, Thou Art My God Alone”
O God, thou art my God alone;
early to Thee my soul shall cry,
a pilgrim in a land unknown,
a thirty land whose springs are dry.
Yet thro’ this rough and thorny maze
I follow hard on Thee, my God;
Thy hand unseen upholds my ways;
I safely tread where Thou hast trod.
Thee in the watches of the night
when I remember on my bed,
Thy presence makes the darkness light;
Thy guardian wings are round my head.
Better than life itself Thy love,
dearer than all beside to me;
for whom have I in heav’n above,
or what on earth, compared with Thee?
Praise with my heart, my mind, my voice,
for all Thy mercy I will give;
my soul shall still in God rejoice;
my tongue shall bless Thee while I live.
~ lyrics by James Montgomery
