Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #147 (1901) First Line: As pants the hart for cooling streams Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams,
When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for Thee,
And Thy refreshing grace.
2 For Thee, my God, the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine;
Oh, when shall I behold Thy face,
Thou majesty divine?
3 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. Tune Title: [As pants the hart for cooling streams]
Longing for God
