The Helper in Sacred Song ‎#130

130. As the Hart Panteth

1 As pants the hart for cooling streams,
When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for thee
And thy refreshing grace.

Refrain:
As pants the hart for cooling streams,
When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for thee
And thy refreshing grace.

2 For thee, my God, the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine;
Oh, when shall I behold thy face,
Thou majesty divine? [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]
