-
As the deer longs for the waters,
For streams where its thirst is relieved,
So my soul longs for You, my Father,
And asks when Your house I'll receive.
Oh, when will I stand in Your presence,
To serve You in reverence and love?
My tears are my food in the darkness,
As foes mock my faith from above.
Chorus:
As the deer longs for the waters,
For streams that are pure and divine,
So my soul longs for You, my Father,
Away from this world and its lies.
I weep in my sorrow and yearning,
Recalling the joy of the past,
When songs of the faithful were burning,
As we to Your temple marched fast.
Oh, soul, why are you so downhearted?
Though trials have darkened my way,
With faith I will cry to my Savior,
My hope and my song night and day.
Chorus:
As the deer longs for the waters,
For streams that are pure and divine,
So my soul longs for You, my Father,
Away from this world and its lies.
By day will the Lord send His mercy,
By night shall my praises arise.
I cry to my Rock and Defender:
“Oh, why am I cast from Your eyes?”
Oh, soul, why are you so downhearted?
Hold firm through the storm and the pain!
For yet will I praise my Redeemer,
His mercy and love never wane.
Chorus:
As the deer longs for the waters,
For streams that are pure and divine,
So my soul longs for You, my Father,
Away from this world and its lies.
