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.

AS pants the hart for cooling streams, When heated in the chase; So longs my soul, O God, for thee, And thy refreshing grace. For thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine: O when shall I behold thy face, Thou Majesty divine!

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.

Tears are my constant food, while thus Insulting foes upbraid: Deluded wretch! where’s now thy God? And where his promis’d aid?

My soul’s cast down, O God, but thinks On thee and Sion still; From Jordan’s bank, from Hermon’s heights, And Mizar’s humbler hill.
