Author: Nahum Tate (1652-1715); Nicholas Brady (1659-1726) Hymnal: CH4 #32 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams
in parched and barren ways,
so longs my soul for you, O God,
and your refreshing grace.
2 For you my God, the living God,
my thirsting soul will pine:
oh, when shall I behold your face,
your majesty divine?
3 God of my strength, my tears have been
by day and night my food;
the mockers taunt continually
and say: 'Where is your God?'
4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still, and you shall sing
the praise of him who is your God,
your health's eternal spring. Topics: Despair and Trouble; Hope Scripture: Psalm 42:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)
