"O for a heart to seek my God" by William Wales Horne. Gadsby Hymn 285. Tune 'Elstow'.

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; (Psalm 63:1) Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. (Psalm 42:7) Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. (Psalm 89:50, 51) Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. (Psalm 10:12-14) Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation. (Psalm 85:5-7) TUNE: The tune 'Elstow' is an adaptation by William Haynes (1829-1902) of Mendelssohn's Piano Sonata No. 6 in A-flat major (Opus 30, Book 2). Mendelssohn's Sonata can be found at minute 00:45:54 in this recording:    • Mendelssohn - Songs Without Words (complet...   Entire Gadsby Hymn 285: 1 O for a heart to seek my God, Encouraged by his gracious word, To view my Saviour all complete, And lie submissive at his feet! 2 To thee, almighty God, to thee, My Rock and Refuge, would I flee; Now tides of sorrow, rolling high, Appear to mingle earth and sky. 3 To see thy saints in mourning clad, And foes by their distress made glad, O’erwhelms my soul with poignant grief; Lord, send thy servants sweet relief. 4 [Though safe in Christ thy saints abide, Nor can their life be e’er destroyed; While thy dear cause is thus suppressed, My burdened soul can take no rest.] 5 Arise, O God, thy cause defend; Deliverance unto Zion send. Arise, arise, O God of might, And put thy threatening foes to flight. 6 Pity thy poor, dejected few; Our souls revive, our strength renew; Collect thy scattered flock once more, And open wide the gospel-door.
