As the hart, about to falter, In its trembling agony, Longs for flowing streams of water, So, O God, I long for Thee. Yes, athirst for Thee I cry; God of life, O when shall I Come again to stand before Thee In Thy temple, and adore Thee? Bitter tears of lamentation Are my food by night and day. In my deep humiliation “Where is now your God?” they say. Oh, my soul’s poured out in me, When I bring to memory How the throngs I would assemble, Shouting praises in Thy temple. From the land beyond the Jordan, With my soul cast down in me, From Mount Mizar and Mount Hermon I will yet remember Thee. As the waters plunge and leap, Deep reechoes unto deep; All Thy waves and billows roaring O’er my troubled soul are pouring. O my soul, why are you grieving, Why disquieted in me? Hope in God, your faith retrieving: He will still your refuge be. I again shall laud His grace For the comfort of His face: He will show His help and favor, For He is my God and Savior.
