A song

I wrote these lyrics to accompany the hymn tune Appalachia. I cannot find an mp3 online, but if you are American, you probably would recognize the melody if you heard it.

In morning hours I rise to meet,
The one for whom my heart does beat.
His face to see, His voice to hear.
O Father God, let me draw near.

Throughout the day my passions rage.
Alone can You the hurts assuage.
A place of safety where to flee,
O Father God, provide for me.

At vesper time again I come,
Of grace this day to list the sum.
To nestle near Your tender heart,
O Father God, hence ne'er depart.
