LyicsSoon as I heard my Father say,
"Ye children, seek my grace,"
My heart replied, without delay,
"I'll seek my Father's face,"
My heart replied, without delay,
"I'll seek my Father's face."
Let not thy face be hid from me,
Nor frown my soul away;
God of my life, I fly to thee
In a distressing day,
God of my life, I fly to thee
In a distressing day.
Should friends and kindred near and dear
Leave me to want or die,
My God will make my life his care,
And all my need supply,
My God will make my life his care,
And all my need supply.
My fainting flesh had died with grief,
Had not my soul believed
To see thy grace provide relief,
Nor was my hope deceived,
To see thy grace provide relief,
Nor was my hope deceived.
Wait on the Lord, ye trembling saints,
And keep your courage up;
He'll raise your spirit lest it faints,
And far exceed your hope,
Hell raise your spirit lest it faints,
And far exceed your hope.
