As pants the deer for cooling
streams,
When weary in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for
thee,
And thy refreshing grace.
Why restless, why cast down,
my soul?
Hope still, and thou shalt sing
The praise of him who is thy
God,
Thy Savior, and thy King.
- verses 1 & 4 of the hymn "As Pants the Hart for Cooling Streams" (adapted), by Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady
