| Text: | Remembrance of God |
| Tune: | SPOHR |
| Composer: | Spohr |
1 As pants the hart for cooling streams,
When heated in the chase;
So longs my soul, O God, for Thee,
And Thy refreshing grace.
2 For Thee, my God, the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine;
O when shall I behold Thy face,
Thou Majesty Divine?
3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Trust God, Who will employ
His aid for thee, and change these sighs
To thankful hymns of joy.
4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still, and thou shalt sing
The praise of Him Who is thy God,
Thy health's eternal spring.
