As the hart, with eager looks

1

As the hart, with eager looks,Panteth for the water-brooks,So my soul, athirst for thee,Pants the living God to see;

2

Why art thou cast down, my soul?God, thy God, shall make thee whole;Why art thou disquieted?God shall lift thy fallen head.

3

When, O, when, with filial fear,Lord, to thee my soul draws near,Let thy countenance benignBe the saving health of mine.
