As panting deer desire the waterbrooks

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Hymnal: WLP1997 #727 (1997) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 As panting deer desire the waterbrooks when wandering in a dry and desert place, so yearns my thristy [sic] soul for you, O God, and longs at last to see you face to face. 2 Both day and night my tears have been my food, while scoffers taunt me, "Where is your God now?" My soul dissolves as I recall the throng whose pilgrim hymns I led to Zion's brow. 3 Why are you heavyhearted, O my soul? And why are you so mired in deep discord? Still put your hope and trust in God alone, whom I will praise, my Savior and my Lord.

Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 3 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight and tears no bitterness. Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 4 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
