As pants the hart to taste the limpid flood
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 42 Lyrics: 1 AS pants the hart to taste the limpid flood,
So longs my thirsty soul for thee, O God.
2 O shall I ne'er behold the happy day,
When in thy house I shall again be gay?
3 No food but tears my weaken'd system knows,
While still I bear the insults of my foes.
4 And yet this glad reflection sooths my mind,
In this blest thought I consolation find;
The time will come, when with the pious throng
Thy house I'll visit, and make thee my song;
When there I shall thy glorious works display,
And keep in solemn pomp the festal day.
5 Why then, my soul, so dreadfully dismay'd?
Why thee such sad distracting griefs invade?
Dismiss thy fears, and on thy God rely;
E'en yet shalt thou return with victory;
Yet with his pow'r thy cause will he support,
And thou shalt praise him in his awful court,
6 My joy, my only solace this, when I,
O Jordan, in thy forests skulking lie;
When, Herman, I thy rocky desarts trace,
And roam, an exile, with the bestial race.
7 What tho' misfortunes on misfortunes tread,
Tho' heav'n's dread terrors thunder o'er my head,
Tho' pours the rattling hail, the billows roar,
And the big sounding waters dam the shore;
8 If still, O God, thy mercies thou'lt display,
Soon will each lowering cloud disperse away.
Mean while, I'll in thy praise employ my tongue,
And now put up a pray'r, now chant a song;
By day, by night, me shall thy truth sustain;
9 My God I'll call thee, gently I'll complain;
With these expostulations sooth my woes;
"Why am I made a may-game to my foes?
"Why has my God forgot me? Will no more
"Thy mercy aid, when prostrate I implore?
10 "Hear how with shouts my ears the impious wound;
"How they their vile reproaches scatter round;
"O hear them vent their blasphemies abroad,
"And cry, insulting, Where is now thy God?"
11 But why, my soul, so dreadfully dismay'd?
Why thee such sad distracting griefs invade?
Dismiss thy fears, and on thy God rely;
E'en yet shalt thou return with victory;
Yet with his pow'r thy cause will he support,
And still thou'lt praise him in his sacred court.

Blessed Be the Day When I Must Roam (Moravian Emigrants' Hymn)
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 42 First Line: Blessed be the day when I must roam Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the day when I must roam
far from my country, friends, and home,
an exile, poor and mean;
my fathers' God will be my Guide,
will angel guards for me provide,
my soul, my soul in danger screen.
2 My God will lead me to a spot
where, all my cares and griefs forgot,
I shall enjoy sweet rest.
As pants for cooling streams the hart,
I languish for my heavenly part,
for God, for God, my Refuge blessed.

Blessed Be the Day When I Must Roam (Moravian Emigrants' Hymn)
Psalm XLII
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 42 First Line: As the poor hart, tir'd in the chase Lyrics:
I. As the poor hart, tir'd in the chase,
Pants for the cool refreshing flood,
So pants my soul for streams of grace,
Thy cheering visits, O my God.
II. For God my thirsty spirit longs,
The sacred spring of living joy;
When shall I come with thankful songs,
Before my God? divine employ!
III. Thro' the sad night and mournful day
My flowing tears have been my food,
While taunting foes continual say,
"And where is now thy Saviour God?"
IV. My melting soul in grief is spent,
When I resolve my happier days;
When with the joyful throng I went
To thy abode with songs of praise.
V. Why, O my soul, thus sink in woe?
Why thus with restless sorrows torn?
Hope thou in God; my song shall flow,
For his bright presence will return.
VI. My heart sinks down oppress'd with grief;
Yet, O my God, I'll call to mind
Those seasons past, for my relief,
When I was blest, and thou wast kind.
VII. Thy terrors overwhelm my soul,
Wave after wave, with dreadful roar;
So stormy seas like mountains roll
And swelling billows drown the shore.
VIII. Yet will the Lord command his care,
His love (sweet morn!) shall chear mine eyes;
And mix'd with praise my nightly pray'r,
God of my life, to thee shall rise.
IX. To thee, I'll cry, my God, my rock;
Ah, why hast thou forgot thy care?
Why mourn I thus beneath the stroke
Of foes, who drive me near despair?
X. Their sharp reproaches pierce my heart
With daily anguish, while they say
(The thought is like a pointed dart,)
Where is thy God, thy boasted stay?
XI. Why sinks my fainting spirit down?
Why do my restless passions mourn?
What, tho' my God a moment frown,
His blissful smile will yet return.
XII. Then shall I spread his pow'r abroad,
His smile my drooping hope shall raise;
My light, my health, my Saviour God,
Shall tune my sighs to songs of praise.
