With My Whole Heart I’ve Sought Thy Face

With my whole heart I’ve sought Thy face:

O let me nev­er stray

From Thy com­mands

O God of grace

Nor tread the sin­ner’s way.

Thy word I’ve hid with­in my heart

To keep my con­sci­ence clean

And be an ev­er­last­ing guard

From ev­ery ris­ing sin.

I’m a com­panion of the saints

Who fear and love the Lord;

My sor­rows rise

my na­ture faints

When men trans­gress Thy Word.

While sin­ners do Thy Gos­pel wrong

My spir­it stands in awe;

My soul ab­hors a ly­ing tongue

But loves Thy right­eous law.

My heart with sac­red rev­er­ence hears

The threat­en­ings of Thy Word;

My flesh with holy trem­bling fears

The judg­ments of the Lord.

My God

I long

I hope

I wait

For Thy sal­va­tion still;

While Thy whole law is my de­light

And I ob­ey Thy will.
