As Pants the Hart

As pants the hart for water brooks, So pants my soul, O God, for Thee

Representative Text

1 As pants the hart for water brooks,
So pants my soul, O God, for thee;
For thee it thirsts, to thee it looks,
And longs the living God to see.

2 Oh! why art thou cast down, my soul?
And what should so disquiet thee?
Still hope in God, and him extol,
Whose face brings saving health to thee.
