Longing After God

Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Assurance Declared First Line: As pants the hart for streams of living water Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for streams of living water, So longs my soul, O living God, for Thee; I thirst for Thee, for Thee my heart is yearning; When shall I come Thy gracious face to see? 2 O Lord my God, o'erwhelmed in deep affliction, Far from Thy rest, to Thee I lift my soul; Deep calls to deep and storms of trouble thunder, While o'er my head the waves and billows roll. 3 Thou wilt command Thy servant's consolation, Thy loving-kindness yet shall cheer my day, And in the night Thy song shall be my comfort; God of my life, to Thee I still will pray. 4 Why, O my soul, art thou cast down within me, Why art thou troubled and oppressed with grief? Hope thou in God, the God of thy salvation, Hope, and thy God will surely send relief. Scripture: Psalm 42 Used With Tune: SANDRINGHAM

Their Great Original proclaim. 2 Th’ unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator’s pow'r display, And publishes, to ev'ry Land The work of an Almighty Hand. 3 Soon as the ev'ning shades prevail The moon takes up the wond'rous tale, And nightly to the list'ning earth, Repeats the story of her birth: 4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 5 What though, in solemn silence, all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though nor real voice nor sound, Amidst their radiant orbs be found? 6 In Reasons ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; Forever singing, as they shine, "The Hand that made us is divine."
