Author: Nahum Tate (1652-1715); Nicholas Brady (1659-1726) Hymnal: SDAH1985 #113 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: As pants the hart for cooling streams Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams
When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for Thee,
And Thy refreshing grace..
2 For Thee, my God, the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine
O when shall I behold Thy face,
Thou Majesty divine?
3 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.
4 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore. Topics: God the Father Grace and Mercy of God Scripture: Psalm 42:1-5 Tune Title: MARTYRDOM
