Christ My Song - 152
O God, my God, just as I thee - My God
(Carl Johann Philipp Spitta/Richard Massie/
Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
My God.
1. O God, my God, just as I thee
discover in thy word,
e'en such a God thou art to me,
thy poor weak child, O Lord. PDF - Midi
2. O what a joy it is to me,
that thou no other art,
and that I daily taste and see
thy goodness in my heart!
3. I, full of sin, thou, full of grace,
and suited to my need;
I, blind and ignorant, alas!
thou, wise in word and deed.
4. I look around, above, thou art
alike both far and near;
I lay my hand upon my heart,
and feel that thou art there.
5. Therefore it is a joy to me,
that thou art what thou art –
that everything I find in thee
to satisfy my heart.
Richard Massie, Lyra Domestica II, 1864, 30.
