As Longs the Deer for Cooling Streams

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 343 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As longs the deer for cooling streams in parched and barren ways, 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? Hope still, and thou shalt sing the praise of Him who is thy God, thy health’s eternal spring. 4 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom we adore, be glory as it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

Thou Art My Portion, O My God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 171 hymnals First Line: Thou art my portion, O my God! Lyrics: 1 Thou art my portion, O my God! Soon as I know Thy way, My heart makes haste to obey Thy Word, And suffers no delay. 2 I choose the path of heavenly truth And glory in my choice; Not all the riches of the earth Could make me so rejoice. 3 The testimonies of Thy grace I set before mine eyes; Thence I derive my daily strength, And there my comfort lies. 4 If I once wander from Thy path, I think upon my ways; Then turn my feet to Thy commands, And trust Thy pardoning grace. 5 Now I am Thine, forever Thine; O save Thy servant Lord! Thou art my shield, my hiding place, My hope is in Thy Word. Amen.

Author: Thomas Haweis Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great Spirit, by whose mighty power All creatures live and move, On us thy benediction shower; Inspire our souls with love. 2 Hail, Source of light! arise and shine; Darkness and doubt dispel; Give peace and joy, for we are thine; In us forever dwell. 3 From death to life our spirits raise, And full redemption bring; New tongues impart to speak the praise Of Christ, our God and King. 4 Thine inward witness bear, unknown To all the world beside; Exulting then, we feel and own Our Saviour glorified.

Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed

Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 567 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed His tender, last farewell, A guide, a Comforter, bequeathed, With us on earth to dwell. 2 He came in tongues of living flame, To teach, convince, subdue; All-powerful as the wind he came, And all as viewless, too. 3 He comes sweet influence to impart, A gracious, willing guest, While he can find one humble heart Wherein to fix his rest. 4 And his that gentle voice we hear, Soft as the breath of even, That checks each fault, calms every fear, And whispers thoughts of heaven. 5 Abd every virtue we possess, And every virtue won, And every thought of holiness Is his, and his alone.
