32. As pants the hart for cooling streams

1 As pants the hart for cooling streams
in parched and barren ways,
so longs my soul for you, O God,
and your refreshing grace.

2 For you my God, the living God,
my thirsting soul will pine:
oh, when shall I behold your face,
your majesty divine?

3 God of my strength, my tears have been
by day and night my food;
the mockers taunt continually
and say: 'Where is your God?'

4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still, and you shall sing
the praise of him who is your God,
your health's eternal spring.
