As the Deer Longs Bob Hurd lyrics

Refrain

As the deer longs for running streams,
so I long, so I long, so I long for you.

Verse 1

A-thirst my soul for you the God who is my life!
When shall I see, when shall I see,
see the face of God?    (Refrain)

Verse 2
Echoes meet as deep is calling unto deep,
over my head, all your mighty waters,
sweeping over me.     (Refrain)

Verse 3
Continually the foe delights in taunting me:
“Where is God, where is your God?”
Where, O where, are you? (Refrain)

Verse 4

Defend me, God, send forth your light and your truth,
they will lead me to your holy mountain,
to your dwelling place.  (Refrain)

Verse 5
Then I shall go unto the altar of my God.
Praising you, O my joy and gladness,
I shall praise your name.  (Refrain)
