Available from J. W. Pepper.
Note:
My God and King is for two part treble voices and piano, a setting of the familiar words of Psalm 42 "As pants the hart for the cooling streams." Set in three verses, the arpeggiated piano accompaniment illustrates the gently flowing water, with the voices singing in thirds. Easy to learn and put together in a short amount of time.
Text:
As pants the hart for cooling streams
when heated in the chase,
so longs my soul, O God, for thee
and thy refreshing grace.
Let all the world in every corner sing, My God and King.
For thee, my God, the living God,
my thirsty soul doth pine:
O when shall I behold thy face,
thou Majesty divine?
Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Trust God who will employ
His aid for thee and change these sighs
To thankful hymns of joy.
Psalm 42
