Early My God Without Delay Mark Bishop

1 Verse:
Ab                            Db        Ab
Early, my God, without delay,
 Db          Eb             Ab
I come to seek Thy face;
                            Db         Ab
My thirsty spirit faints away
      Db           Eb             Ab
Without Thy cheering grace.

                                Eb
So trav'lers in the burning sand,
    Ab                          Eb
Beneath a burning sky,
         Ab                    Db              Ab
Long for a cooling stream at hand,
       Db                  Eb                 Ab
'Lest they should fainth and die

2 Verse:
Thy glory I've seen and thy power
Through all Thy temple shine;
O God, repeat that heav'nly hour,
That vision so divine.

Not all the blessings of a feast
Can please my soul so well,
As when thy richer grace i taste,
And in thy presence dwell.

3 Verse:
Not life itself, with all her joys,
Can my best passions move,
Or raise so high my cheerful voice,
As Thy forgiving love.

Thus till my last expiring day
I'll bless my God and King;
Lift my exalting heart to pray,
My fervent voice to sing.
