With earnest longings of the mind | D |

So pants the hunted hart to find | D |

When shall I see thy courts of grace | F |
And meet my God again | G |
So long an absence from thy face | F |
My heart endures with pain | H |

Temptations vex my weary soul | I |
And tears are my repast | D |
The foe insults without control | I |
And where's your God at last | D |

'Tis with a mournful pleasure now | J |
I think on ancient days | K |
Then to thy house did numbers go | L |
And all our work was praise | K |

But why my soul sunk down so far | M |
Beneath this heavy load | D |
Why do my thoughts indulge despair | N |
And sin against my God | D |

Hope in the Lord whose mighty hand | D |
Can all thy woes remove | O |
For I shall yet before him stand | D |
And sing restoring love | P |
