RCCG Hymn 573
As Pants the Hart for Cooling Streams
"My soul thirsteth for God." - Ps 42:2
As pants the hart for cooling streams, When heated in the chase, So long my soul, O God, for Thee, And Thy refreshing grace.
For Thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine, O when shall I behold Thy face, Thou majesty divine!
Why restless, why cast down, my soul! Trust God, who will employ His aid for thee and change these sighs To thankful hymns of joy.
God of my strength, how long shall I, Like one forgotten, mourn! Forlorn, forsaken, and exposed To my oppressor's scorn.
Why restless, why cast down, my soul! Hope still, and thou shalt sing The praise of Him who is thy God, Thy health's eternal spring.
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost Thou God that we worship Worthy of glory and honour, For ever more be praised.
