As pants the hart for cooling streams
When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for Thee,
And Thy refreshing grace.

O living God, my God, for Thee
My thirsty heart doth pine;
Oh, to draw nigh and thoroughly
Enjoy Thyself divine!

Oh, to draw nigh and thoroughly
Enjoy Thyself divine!

My life, my strength, my dwelling place
Thou art, O God, to me;
In Christ Thou art enjoyed as grace
And fully gained by me.

In Christ Thou art enjoyed as grace
And fully gained by me.

Thy smile is my salvation blest;
Now all my hope's in Thee;
Thy presence is my sole request—
Oh, grace me bountif'lly!
Now all my hope's in Thee;
Thy presence is my sole request—
Oh, grace me bountif'lly!

I pant, as hart for cooling brook;
Oh, grant Thyself, I plead;
To Thee alone, O Lord, I look,
For Thou art all I need.

For Thou art all I need.
