1. Like the deer that yearns,

For running streams

So my soul yearning

For you, my God.

2. My soul is thirsting for God

The God of 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 had Holy Spirit,

Both now and forever,

The God who is, who was and who will be.

World without end.
