O Lord, thou know'st my Soul's Desires

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXXII (1791) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou know'st my Soul's Desires, And thou canst give me perfect Ease; Thou art the Good my Heart admires, There's nothing but thy Love can please. 2 Give me, O Lord, the Happiness To sit and hear thy gracious Voice; Come, Saviour, come, my soul possess, And make my mourning Heart rejoice. 3 Lord, I would praise thy holy Name, Thou art my everlasting Friend; Thou hast not put my Soul to shame; Preserve me safe unto the End. 4 Thou art my Strength, and my Support, My Hope, my everlasting Aid To Thee I always would resort, And trust in Thee when I'm afraid. 5 Thy Name affords my Soul relief, When I with Sorrows am opprest; When I am full of woe and Grief, Thy word doth give my Spirit rest. 6 Teach me to do thy holy Will, Unite my Heart to fear thy Name; O lead me to thy heav'nly Hill, Where stands the new Jerusalem. 7 Were not the Lord of Hosts my Strength I should have sunk in deep Despair; But now I trust I shall at length Arrive at Canaan's Harbour fair; 8 There shall I rest for Evermore, Fearless of Storms, and raging Seas, And sit upon the heav'nly Shore, And dwell at everlasting Ease.
