My soul cri­eth out for the Spir­it,
Beneath Thy grate­ful shade;
Of all my plea­sures shorn—
With co­pi­ous show­ers Thou didst as­suage
Come now, Your love be­stow­ing
For still the des­ert lies
Lord, my spir­it faints for Thee;
Thou spread’st Thy ta­ble for Thy child;
Is a gift to our king.
And the place that long has been so
And find the sweet bless­ing of rest.
The dark and the threat­en­ing storm clouds,
My soul to Thy still wa­ter
Make droop­ing na­ture live;
May we nev­er from Thee stray.
May we nev­er from Thee stray.
Which Thee and Thy sal­va­tion knows.

thirst­ing

The full­ness of bless­ing He giv­eth;
Salvation taste;
And in the de­sert cried.
Thy con­gre­ga­tion dwelt se­cure;
Till all are ful­ly sa­tis­fied.
O liv­ing wa­ters, rise
When shall I Thy pre­sence see?
Thro’ earth and Heav­en for­ev­er rolls.
And sin­ful are here,
Gains a bless­ing from the Fa­ther
The wa­ter of life He will give;
So show­ers of heav­en­ly bless­ing
Holy riv­er, let me ev­er
Water of life will give.
For the font where grass­es grow,
For the font where grass­es grow,
The truths Thy sac­red words con­vey;
