As the deer pants
After the water brooks
So my soul seeks for You O Lord
My soul thirsts for God
For the living God
That His song might live within me
Why be downcast my soul
Or disturb’d within me
Put your hope in God
For I will yet praise Him
My Saviour and my God
Lord my soul thirsts for You
The living God
