As the Hart When Noon Is Burning

Author: Edward A. Collier Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. As the hart when noon is burning Pants for springs when waters burst, So for God my soul is yearning, For the living God a-thirst: When shall I, a wand'rer here, In Thy presence, Lord, appear? Daily by my foes derided, Tears they for my food provided. 2. If fond mem'ry seek to borrow Comfort from the former years, These but stir anew my sorrow, Open ev'ry fount of trears: Unto Zion's gates with song, Oh, how oft I led the throng, Who with joy and praise adore Thee, Keeping holiday before Thee. 3. Why art thou cast down and fearful? O my soul, why so dismayed? Hope in God, and eyes now tearful Yet shall see His present aid. Down, O God, my heart is cast, Till I think of mercies past; Then to Thee, my spirit weary Turns as from a desert dreary. 4. As Thy waterfalls resounding, Deep is calling unto deep: Over me, Thine all-surrounding Waves and billow wildly sweep: Yet the Lord will bless my days, I, His loving-kindness praise; And His song, at midnight given, Be my prayer to God in heaven. 5. Why disquieted within me! Why art thou, my soul, cast down! Hope in God, I yet shall praise Him, Who with joy my life will crown. He, my God, whose wondrous grace Is the help that cheers my face, Comforts me, when tears are blinding, As the hart cool waters finding.

Shun, my Heart, such Thought Forever

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shun, my heart, such thought forever As that thou art cast away, Rest upon God's Word and favor, Never cease to watch and pray. E'en though thou unrighteous art, True and faithful is God's heart; Hast thou death deserved forever? God's appeased, despond thou never! 2 Thou art, as is every other, Tainted with the poison sin. That the serpent and our father Adam, by the fall, brought in. But if thou God's voice doth hear, With a contrite heart draw near Unto God, He will receive thee, All thy sins He will forgive thee. 3 Thou wilt find in Him a Father Who is patient, kind, and true, He doth love thee as no brother And no other friend can do. E'en our smallest cares He knows, He is touched by all our woes; Well our inmost prayers He heareth, And our saddened hearts He cheereth. 4 Hear His work "As I am living, I the death on none would see, But that every sinner giving Up his heart would turn to Me. How my heart with rapture burns When a prodigal returns! As My own I love to call him, And no evil shall befall him." 5 Never shepherd's heart so yearneth For the sheep that go astray As God's loving bosom burneth For His erring child alway. How He thirst, and longs, and yearns For the soul that from Him turns! Couldst thou see His love so tender Joyful praise thou wouldst Him render. 6 O my soul, so sad and dreary, Rest now and contented be! Why wilt thou thyself so weary When there is no need for thee? Though thy sins appear to thee Like a vast and shoreless sea, In God's mercy they will vanish; Thy despair and fear, then, banish. 7 Were there thousand worlds created, Lost in sin and misery, Had their sins both small and greater, Every one been done by thee; Still God's love and mercy are Greater than these sins by far; Naught His mercy can diminish, Nor His love and grace extinguish. 8 Of such wondrous love and favor Open wide the door to me; And Thy goodness, precious Saviour, Let me ever taste and see, Love me, Lord, and let me be Ever nearer drawn to Thee; Let thy Spirit lead and guide me, In Thy loving bosom hide me.

As pants the Hart for cooling Streams

Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As pants the Hart for cooling Streams, When heated in the Chace; So longs my Soul, Oh GOD! for thee, And thy refreshing Grace: For thee my Soul doth pine, Thou Majesty divine! Oh when shall I behold thy Face, And drink of thy refreshing Grace? 2 Tears are my constant Food, while thus Insulting Foes upbraid, "Deluded Wretch, where's now thy GOD, "And where his promis'd Aid?" My Thoughts, with Grief, present The Days I did frequent Thy sacred House, my Vows to pay, 3 Why restless, why cast down, my Soul? Trust GOD, he will employ His Aid for thee, and change these Sighs To thankful Hymns of Joy. My Soul, tho' much distrest, Thy Name, Oh GOD, hath blest; Rememb'ring thee, and Sion still, From Jordan's Bank, and Hermon's Hill. 4 One Trouble calls another on, And bursting o'er my Head, Fall spouting down, till round my Soul, A roaring Sea is spread;' Like Wares together roll'd, Whose Rage is uncontroul'd, My growing Sorrows gather round, And still my Soul with Fear confound. 5 But when thy Presence, Lord of Life! (As I have thee implor'd,) Dispells at once this threat'ning Storm, And hath a Calm restor'd; My Soul shall bless thy Name, Thy Goodness I'll proclaim; To Thee I'll midnight Anthems raise, And daily strive to sing thy Praise. 6 God of my Strength! how long shall I Like one forgotten, mourn? Forlorn, forsaken, and expos'd To my Oppressor's Scorn; While thus my Foes upbraid, "Where's now thy promis'd Aid?" "Thy empty Boastings are in vain, Thy GOD will not relieve thy Pain." 11 Why restless, why cast down, my Soul? Trust GOD, and he'll employ His Aid for thee, and change these Sighs, To thankful Hymns of Joy: If thou wilt yet depend, On GOD, thy only Friend; The Praise of him thou yet shalt sing, Who is thy Health's eternal Spring.

O what precious Balm and Healing

Author: R. Massie; J. Heerman; Bernard of Clairvaux Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O what precious balm and healing, Jesus, in Thy wounds I find! Ev'ry hour that I am feeling Pains of body and of mind; Should some evil thought rush in, And provoke my soul to sin, Thoughts of Thy deep wounds, from sinning Keep me in its first beginning. 2 Should some lust or sharp temptation Prove too strong for flesh and blood, Lo! I think upon Thy passion, And the breach is soon made good: Or should Satan press me hard, Thinking I am off my guard, Christ, I say, for me was wounded, And the tempter flees confounded. 3 If the world my heart entices On the broad and easy road, And both by its gay devices Silence ev'ry thought of God, When the heavy load I see Which, dear Lord, was laid on Thee, I can still each wild emotion, Calm and blest in my devotion. 4 Yes, whate'er may pain or grieve me, Thy dear wounds can make me whole; When my heart sinks, they revive me, Life pours in upon my soul: May Thy comfort render sweet Ev'ry bitter cup I meet; Thou, who by Thy death and Passion Hast procured my soul's salvation.
