AS THE DEER PANTS FOR THE WATER (PSALM 42)

4  -4   5    -5    5  -4   5 6
As the deer pants for the water,
4  -4  5    -5   5 4    4
So my soul pants after Thee.
 4 -4   5    -5   5 -4   5 6
How I thirst for living water.
 4   -4   5 -5   5   4  4
How much longer will it be?
 -7    -6   -7  -6  6
Tears have been my food
 -5   6  -6    6
Both day and night.
-7    -6   -7   -6  6 -5   6
Mem-'ries yearn of better days.
-7  -6   -7   -6  6    -5  6-6 6
All the times of joy, thanksgiving
 -5  5  -5 5 -4  4 -4
Seem so very far away.

Verse 2:
Deep calls to still deeper waters:
Waves and breakers sweep o'er me.
Am I now to be forgotten?
Left in mortal agony?
Why so downcast, O my troubled soul?
Put your hope in God and prayer.
Ever shall God my direction be.
Ever am I in God's care!

Verse 3:
 4 -4   5  -5      5    -4   5  6
Loving kindness through the daytime.
4   4    -4  5   -5   5   4    4
My Lord: my hope in times of strife.
4    4    -4    5    -5    5   -4  5   6
At night, Your song shall e'er be with me:
4  4 -4  -4 5 -5  5   4   4
A prayer unto my God, my life!
