Paroles de My God, Permit My Tongue

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 power and glory to behold,
And feel thy quick'ning grace.
4. For life without thy love
No relish can afford;
No joy can be compared to 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 or 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, I follow where my Father leads,
And he supports my steps.
