Music: Herbert Howells Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks So longeth my soul after thee, O God. My soul is athirst for God yea, even for the living God When shall I come to appear before the presence of God? My tears have been my meat day and night, While they daily say unto me: Where is now thy God? My tears have been my meat day and night, Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks, So longeth my soul after thee, O God. My soul is athirst for God yea, even for the living God When shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
