Early Will I Seek Thee

I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word. (Psalm 119:147)

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee... (Psalm 63:1)

Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He [Jesus] went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. (Mark 1:35)

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;

Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!

God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Early let us seek Thy favor, early let us do Thy will;

Blessed Lord and only Savior, with Thy love our bosoms fill.

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast loved us, love us still.

"I have so much to do today, that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer." Martin Luther
