LyicsAS pants the hart for living streams,
So. Lord, I pant for thee;
And where thy worshippers are found,
My dwelling place shall be.
No earthly idol e'er shall tempt
My steadfast soul to rove,
For I desire no higher bliss
Than to enjoy thy love.
Give me but this, I nought can ask,
I nought can wish beside;
For in thy faithfulness and truth
I safely can confide.
Blest with this gift, for earthly joys
I never can repine;
But gladly yield myself to thee,
To be forever thine.
