As pants the hart for cooling streams (revised)

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!

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.

Thy smile is my salvation blest;

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.
