Seeking Water, Seeking Shelter

Author: Eric Routley Hymnal: RITL1985 #101 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Seeking water, seeking shelter, gasps the thirsty, weary deer; so my soul in days of trouble longs for God's refreshments here. In this stressful course of life, in its loneliness and strife, "When," say I, "will God deliver; is his mercy gone forever?" 2 No! he is my soul's true fortress; though I hear those voices wild-- "Where's your God? why has he left you?-- he will not forget his child. Come then, be my advocate, come, your servant vindicate; then no more in fruitless sorrow shall I face a barren morrow. 3 Send your light and trust to lead me; then the path shall I discern to my father's house, where welcome waits the prodigal's return. Then new songs shall fil my days, ev'ry moment full of praise, with the faithful who surround him, with the blest ones who have found him. 4 So, my soul, why such disquiet? why such mourning, why such fear? Day already breaks on darkness, God has sought you, God is near. Hope in God and you shall live; all delight he waits to give; peace and power and ev'ry blessing you shall know, this faith confessing.

And ev'ry setting sun shall see new works of duty done for thee. 3 Thy truth and justice I'll proclaim; thy bounty flows, an endless stream; thy mercy swift; thine anger slow, but dreadful to the stubborn foe. 4 Let distant times and nations raise the long succession of thy praise; and unborn ages make my song the joy and labor of their tongue. 5 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds? Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds; vast and unsearchable thy ways: vast and immortal be thy praise! Scripture: Psalm 145 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. BARTHOLOMEW

My days of praise are never past, while life, and thought, and being last, or immortality endures. 2 Happy the one whose hopes rely on Israel's God; he made the sky and earth and seas, with all their train. His truth for ever stands secure, he saves th'oppresssed, he feeds the poor, and shall find his promise vain. 3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind; the Lord supports the fainting mind; he sends the laboring conscience peace. He helps the stranger in distress, the widow and the fatherless, and grants the prisoner sweet release. 4 I’ll praise him while he lends me breath; and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my noblest powers. My days of praise shall ne'er be past, while life, and thought, and being last or immortality endures. Topics: Needy Scripture: Psalm 146 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 113TH
