LIKE THE DEER THAT YEARNS (Psalm 42)

Ant. 1: My soul is thirsting for the Lord;
            when shall I see Him face to face?
Ant. 2: I shall go to the house of God,
            with songs of joy.

1. Like the deer that yearns,
   For running streams,
   So my soul is 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 and Holy Spirit,
   Both now and forever,
   The God who is, who was and who will be.
   World without end.
