Thread Name: Lyr Req: Psalms sung to 'The Water is Wide'
Subject: Lyr Add: PSALM 42 (adaptation by Danna Harkin)
The tune to "The Water is Wide" can also be used with "Amazing Grace" or PSALM 42 (adaptation by Danna Harkin). Good luck. I love this tune/song in any version.

As the hart longs for flowing streams,
So longs my heart for thee, O God.
My soul does thirst for the living God.
When shall I come to see Thy face?

My tears have fed me day and night,
While men have said, "Where is your God!"
But I recall as my soul pours dry,
The days of praise within thy home.

Why do I mourn and toil within,
When it is mine to hope in God?
I shall again sing praise to Him.
He is my help. He is my God!
