Psalm 42 ~ set to 'Geneva'

Tune: Geneva
Text: Psalter Psalm 42

As the hart, about to falter in its trembling agony,
Panteth for the brooks of water, so my soul doth long for thee.
Yea, athirst for thee, I cry, God of life, O when shall I
Come again to stand before thee in thy temple, and adore thee?"

Bitter tears of lamentation are my food by night and day;
In my deep humiliation, "Where is now thy God?" they say.
Yea, my soul doth melt in me, when I bring to memory
How of old I did assemble with the joyful in thy temple.

O my soul, why art thou grieving, why disquieted in me?
Hope in God, thy faith retrieving; let Him still thy refuge be.
I shall yet extol His grace for the comfort of His face;
He has ever turned my sorrow into gladness on the morrow.

But the Lord will send salvation, and by day his love provide;
He shall be my exaltation, and my song at eventide.
On his praise e'en in the night I will ponder with delight,
And in prayer, transcending distance, seek the God of my existence.

Always a delight to see others using the beautiful Genevan Psalter. This is a psalm we sing quite often at our congregation. A beautiful tune.
