Ear-ly, my God, with-out de-lay I haste to seek Thy face; My thirs-ty spir-it faints a-way, With-out Thy cheer-ing grace, With-out Thy cheer-ing grace.

Firm was my health, my day was bright, And I pre-sumed 'twould ne'er be night; Fond-ly I said with-in my heart, Plea-sure and peace shall ne'er de-part.
