Lyics

My God, permit my tongue

This joy, to call thee mine;

And let my early cries prevail,

To taste thy love divine.



Within thy churches, Lord,

I long to find my place;

Thy power and glory to behold,

And feel thy quickening grace.



Since thou hast been my help,

To thee my spirit flies;

And on thy watchful providence

My cheerful hope relies.



The shadow of thy wings

My soul in safety keeps;

I follow where my Father leads,

And he supports my steps.
