Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

As pants the hart for cooling streams 
As pants the hart for cooling streams when heated in the chase, so longs 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? 
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. 
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom we adore, be glory as it was, is now, and shall be evermore.
