Spirit's thirst

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

I’m thirsting for the love you bring,
as in a lonely land,    
my God, I sing beneath your wing
of succour from your hand,
        remembering when wake at night,
        in darkness know your light,
        my happy thoughts are are fixed upon
        my God – my heart you’ve won.

To you my soul will always cling
your arms uphold me still,
of faithful goodness ever sing –
richly my soul you fill.
        Men mock, your mighty being scorn,
        think me a fool, forlorn.
        They turn a blind eye to your face
        and do not grasp your grace.

Tune: DCM eg tunes of ‘O liitle town of Bethlehem’, ‘It came upon a midnight clear’, or ‘I heard the voice of Jesus say’

Based partly on Psalms 63 and 42
