As pants the hart for cooling streams

From Oremus Hymnal

Jump to: navigation, search

As pants the hart for cooling streams
when heated in the chase,
so longs my soul, O God, for thee,
and thy refreshing grace.

For thee, my God, the living God,
my thirsty soul doth pine:
O when shall I behold thy face,
thou majesty divine?

God of my strength, how long shall I,
like one forgotten, mourn-
forlorn, forsaken, and exposed
to my oppressor's scorn?

Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
hope still, and thou shalt sing
the praise of him who is thy God,
thy health's eternal spring.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
the God whom we adore,
be glory as it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
