Te Deum, 687.687.10.10.87. [D]
| 1. | 1 O God, You are my God, And early will I seek for You; My soul is athirst for You. My flesh cries out for You From out a dry and thirsty land, A land where no water is. 2 For thus to behold You in splendid strength I gazed after You in the holy place. 3 Since Your grace is much more than life, My lips will give praise to You. |
| 2. | 4 I'll bless You while I live, And I will ever lift my hands To praise and confess Your name. 5 My soul will be made full As with all choice and hearty meats; I'll praise You with joyful lips. 6 I think of You thus as I lie in bed And bring You to mind in the hours of night. 7 Since You ever have been my help, Your wings are my shield and joy. |
| 3. | 8 My soul clings fast to You; Your right hand holds me safely up. 9 When men would destroy my life, To depths of earth they go; 10 They are delivered to the sword, To jackals become a prey. 11 The king will rejoice and be glad in God, And they boast aloud who have sworn in Him, But the mouth will be made to stop Of those who declare a lie. |
