HYMN 24.
[Like as a Hart has a quick sight]
Cant. 2. 9. My Beloved is like a Roe, or young Hart.
Like as a Hart has a quick sight,
So thou art quick to see;
All wants that do attend thy Saints,
Lye open unto thee.
So thou art quick to see;
All wants that do attend thy Saints,
Lye open unto thee.
Their dangers too thou dost perceive
All things before thee lye;
And help from thee we all shall have,
And that most speedily.
All things before thee lye;
And help from thee we all shall have,
And that most speedily.
And like a Hart art quick to hear,
Although we do but groan;
The smallest sigh comes up to thee,
It pierces does thy Throne.
Although we do but groan;
The smallest sigh comes up to thee,
It pierces does thy Throne.
57
Thou loving art unto thy Spouse,
Thou dost exceed the Hind;
Most dearly dost thou tender her,
And bear her in thy mind.
Thou dost exceed the Hind;
Most dearly dost thou tender her,
And bear her in thy mind.
And as a Hart is swift to run,
And can the Mountains climb;
So thou art swift to help thy Saints,
And all wilt in good time.
And can the Mountains climb;
So thou art swift to help thy Saints,
And all wilt in good time.
No opposition Men can make,
Or greatest difficulty
Can thee obstruct; for they relief
Shall have most speedily.
Or greatest difficulty
Can thee obstruct; for they relief
Shall have most speedily.
Let's therefore sing, and also say,
Be thou like a young Hart;
O haste, dear Saviour, come away,
Thy blessing to impart.
Be thou like a young Hart;
O haste, dear Saviour, come away,
Thy blessing to impart.
