1. As in its thirst the pant-ing hart to
wa-ter brooks

doth flee,
So pants my long-ing soul, O God, that
I may come to thee.

2. My soul for God, the liv-ing God, doth
thirst
when shall
I near
Be-fore the face of God ap-proach and in
his sight ap-pear?

3. My tears have un-to me been food both in the
night and day,
While un - to me con -tin - ual- ly, Where
is thy God?,

They say.

4. Poured out with-in me is my soul when
this I think up - on
How of - ten with the ea - ger throng I
rev-rent-ly had gone.

5. How to the house of God I went with
voice of joy and

praise,
Yea, with the mul - ti - tude that kept the
sol-emn ho - ly days.

6. O why, my soul, art thou bowed down?

Why so dis-cour-aged be?
Hope now in God! Ill praise him still! My
help, my God, is he!
