My spirit’s hungry craving Thou canst for ever still; From deepest anguish saving, With bliss my cup canst fill. 3 O let my eyes be lightened By sight of Thy dear face; My life below be brightened By tasting of Thy grace; Without Thee, mighty Savior, To live is nought but pain; To have Thy love and favor Is happiness and gain. 4 Earth’s glory to inherit Is not what I desire; To heaven aspires my spirit, Glowing with nobler fire. Where Christ Himself appeareth In brightest majesty, For me a place prepareth, There, there I long to be.
