As pants the hart for cooling streams

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
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
God of my strength, how long shall I,
  Like one forgotten, mourn,
Forlorn, forsaken, and exposed
  To my oppressor’s scorn?
5
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.
