HYMN Lyrics Text: Like The Deer That Yearns For Running Stream

1. Like the deer that yearns

for running streams,

‘so my soul is yearning

for You, my God.

My soul is thirsting for the Lord.

When shall I see him face to face.

I shall go to the house of God

with songs of joy.

2. My soul is thirsting for God,

the God my life.

When can I enter and see,

the face of God?

3. My tears have become my bread,

by night and by day.

As I hear it said all day long,

where is your God?

4. Why are you cast down, my soul?

Why groan within me?

Hope in God,

I will praise Him still.

My Saviour and my God

5. Praise the Father, the Son

and Holy Spirit,

both now and forever,

the God who is, who was

and who will be

world without end.
