Our Hymn for August 2025 is “O God, you are my God Alone”

O God, you are my God alone,
Whom eagerly I seek,
Though longing fills my soul with thirst
And leaves my body weak.
Just as a dry and barren land
Awaits a freshening shower,
I long within your house to see
Your glory and Your power.

Your faithful love surpasses life,
Evoking all my praise,
Through every day, to bless Your name,
My hands in joy I’ll raise.
My deepest needs you satisfy
As with a sumptuous feast.
So, on my lips, and in my heart
My praise has never ceased.

Throughout the night I lie in bed
And call You, Lord, to mind;
In darkest hours I meditate
How God, my strength, is kind.
Beneath the shadow of your wings
I live and feel secure;
And daily, as I follow close
Your right hand keeps me sure.
