Author: Lyte Hymnal: JW1878 #75 (1879) First Line: As pants the hart for cooling streams Refrain First Line: As pants the hart for cooling streams Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams
When heated in the chase,
So pants my soul, O Lord, for thee,
And thy refreshing grace.
Chorus:
As pants the hart for cooling streams,
So pants my soul, O Lord, for thee,
As pants the hart for cooling streams,
So pants my soul, O Lord, for thee.
2 For thee, my God, the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine;
Oh, when shall I behold thy face,
Thou majesty divine? [Chorus]
3 I sigh to think of happier days,
When thou, O Lord, wast nigh,
When ev'ry heart was tun'd to praise,
And none more blest than I. [Chorus]
4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Trust God, and thou shalt sing
His praise again, and find him still
Thy health's eternal spring. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [As pants the hart for cooling streams]
