Here you will find the Poem O God! Thou art my God alone; of poet James Montgomery
O God! Thou art my God alone; Early to Thee my soul shall cry; A pilgrim in a land unknown, A thirsty land whose springs are dry. O that it were as it hath been, When praying in the holy place, Thy power and glory I have seen, And marked the footsteps of thy grace. Yet through this rough and thorny maze, I follow hard on Thee, my God: Thy hand unseen upholds my ways: I safely tread where Thou hast trod. Thee, in the watches of the night, When I remember on my bed, Thy presence makes the darkness light; Thy guardian wings are round my head. Better than life itself thy love, Dearer than all beside to me; For whom have I in heaven above, Or what on earth, compared with Thee? Praise with my heart, my mind, my voice, For all thy mercy I will give: My soul shall still in God rejoice, My tongue shall bless Thee while I live.
