As Thirsts the Hart for Water Brooks
Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 As thirsts the hart for water brooks,
so thirsts my soul, O God for thee;
it seeks for God, and ever looks
and longs the living God to see,
and longs the living God to see.
2 Far from the courts of God, my tears
have been my food by night and day,
while constantly with bitter sneers,
"Where is thy God?" the scoffers say,
"Where is thy God?" the scoffers say.
3 With grief I think of days gone by,
when oft I trod the hallowed way
to Zion, praising God on high
with throngs who kept the holy day,
with throngs who kept the holy day.
4 O why art thou cast down, my soul,
and why so troubled shouldst thou be?
Hope thou in God, and him extol,
who gives his saving help to me,
who gives his saving help to me.

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 558 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts,
thou fount of life, thou light of men,
from fullest bliss that earth imparts
we turn unfilled to thee again,
we turn unfilled to thee again.

thou savest those that on thee call;
to them that seek thee, thou art good,
to them that find thee, all in all,
to them that find thee, all in all.
3 We taste thee, O thou living bread,
and long to feast upon thee still;
we drink of thee, the fountainhead,
and thirst our souls from thee to fill,
and thirst our souls from thee to fill.
4 Our restless spirits yearn for thee,
where'er our changeful lot is cast,
glad that thy gracious smile we see,
blest that our faith can hold thee fast,
blest that our faith can hold thee fast.

make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the dark night of sin away,
shed o'er the world thy holy light,
shed o'er the world thy holy light. Topics: Bread of Life; Christ As the Light; Christian Life; Joy; Longing for Christ and God; Love For Christ Scripture: Luke 1:78-79 Used With Tune: BACA Text Sources: Latin, 11th cent.

Behold a Stranger's at the door!
Author: Joseph Grigg Appears in 606 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger's at the door!
He gently knocks, has knocked before;
Hath waited long, is waiting still:
You treat no other friend so ill,
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 Oh lovely attitude! He stands
With melting heart and laden hands;
Oh, matchless kindness! and He shows
This matchless kindness to His foes!
This matchless kindness to His foes!
3 But will He prove a friend indeed?
He will; the very Friend you need;
The friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He,
With garments dyed at Calvary,
With garments dyed at Calvary.
4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine;
Turn out His enemy and thine,
That soul-destroying monster, sin,
And let the heavenly Stranger in,
And let the heavenly Stranger in.
5 Admit Him, ere His anger burn,
His feet departed ne'er return;
Admit Him, or the hour's at hand
You'll at His door rejected stand,
You'll at His door rejected stand.
Amen. Topics: Accepted Time; Gospel Call; Christ Knocking at the Door; Delay Danger of; Procrastination; Striving The Spirit's Used With Tune: BACA

O Lord, my soul convicted stands
Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my soul convicted stands
Of breaking all Thy Ten Commands;

Thy wrath in one eternal shower.

Have warned me of approaching harms
And now, O Lord, my wants I see;
Lost and undone I come to Thee.

Can ne'er Thy broken law redress,
Yet in the Gospel plan I see,
There's hope of pardon e'en for me.

That Christ hath to Thy Law restored
Those honors on th' atoning day,
Which guilty sinners took away.

To love and trust Thy plan of grace. Topics: The Catechism The Decalogue; Twentieth Sunday after Trinity; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: BACA Text Sources: Anon. Reformed Church Hymnal, New York, 1814

to rescue me from hell;

salvation full and free,
thy pardon and thy love;
great gifts thou broughtest me;
what have I brought to thee?

my years for thee be spent;
world-fetters all be riven,
and joy with suff'ring blent:

I give myself to thee. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Passion and Holy Week Used With Tune: BACA
