HYMN 273

"My soul thirsteth of God" - Ps. 42:2



1.  AS pants the heart for cooling streams, 

     When heated in the chase;

     So longs my soul O God, for Thee 

     And Thy refreshing grace.


2.  Why restless, why cast down, 

     my soul? 

     Trust God, who will employ

     His aid for Thee and change 

     these sighs 

     To thankful hymns of joy.


3.  For Thee, my God, the living God, 

     My thirsty soul doth pine,

     Oh when shall I behold Thy face, 

     Thou Majesty divine?


4.  Why restless, why cast down my soul?
 
     Hope still, and thou shall sing

     The praise of Him who is thy God 

     Thy health’s eternal spring.  Amen
