GOD
our
Portion
.
From
the
Spanish
.
I.
O
GOD
,
my
GOD
,
my
All
Thou
art
;
Ere
shines
the
Dawn
of
rising
Day
Thy
sov'reign
Light
within
my
Heart
,
Thy
all-enliv'ning
Pow'r
display
.
II
.
For
Thee
my
thirsty
Soul
does
pant
,
While
in
this
desert
Land
I
live
:
And
hungry
as
I
am
and
faint
Thy
Love
alone
can
Comfort
give
.
III
.
In
a
dry
Land
behold
I
place
My
whole
Desire
on
Thee
,
O
LORD
:
And
more
I
joy
to
gain
thy
Grace
Than
all
Earth's
Treasures
can
afford
.
IV
.
In
Holiness
within
thy
Gates
Of
old
oft
have
I
sought
for
Thee
!
Again
my
longing
Spirit
waits
That
Fulness
of
Delight
to
see
.
V.
More
dear
than
Life
itself
thy
Love
My
Heart
and
Tongue
shall
still
employ
,
And
to
declare
thy
Praise
will
prove
My
Peace
,
my
Glory
,
and
my
Joy
.
VI
.
In
blessing
Thee
with
grateful
Songs
My
happy
Life
shall
glide
away
;
The
Praise
that
to
thy
Name
belongs
Hourly
with
lifted
Hands
I'll
pay
.
VII
.
Abundant
Sweetness
,
while
I
sing
Thy
Love
,
my
ravish'd
Soul
o'erflows
,
Secure
in
Thee
,
my
GOD
and
King
,
Of
Glory
that
no
Period
knows
.
VIII
.
Thy
Name
,
O
LORD
,
upon
my
Bed
Dwells
on
my
Lips
,
and
fires
my
Thought
,
With
trembling
Awe
in
midnight
Shade
,
I
muse
on
all
thy
Hands
have
wrought
.
IX
.
In
all
I
do
I
feel
thy
Aid
;
Therefore
thy
Greatness
will
I
sing
,
O
GOD
,
who
bid'st
my
Heart
be
glad
Beneath
the
Shadow
of
thy
Wing
.
X.
My
Soul
draws
nigh
,
and
cleaves
to
Thee
;
Then
let
or
Earth
or
Hell
assail
,
Thy
mighty
Hand
shall
set
me
free
,
For
whom
Thou
sav'st
,
He
ne'er
shall
fail
.
