Antiphon 1 . My soul is thirsting for the Lord: when shall\nI see him face to face?\nAntiphon 2. I shall go to the House of God with songs of joy.\nLike the deer that yeans\nFor running streams,\nO my soul is yeaning\nFor you, my God.\n2. My soul is thirsting for God,\nThe God of my life;\nWhen can I enter and see\nThe face of God?\n3. My tears have become my bread,\nBy night, by day,\nAs I hear it said all day long:\n“Where is your God?”\n4. These things will I remember\nAs I pour out my soul:\nHow I would lead the rejoicing crowd\nInto the house of God\n(Amid cries of gladness and thanksgiving, the throng wild with joy.)\n5. Why are you cast down, my soul,\nWhy groan within me?\nHope in God, I will praise him still,\nMy Saviour and my God.\n6. My soul is cast down within me\nSo I think of you\nFrom the country of Jordan and Mount Hermon,\nFrom the hill of Mizar.\n7. Deep is calling on deep,\nIn the roar of waters:\nYour torrents and all your waves\nSwept over me.\n8. By day the Lord will send\nHis loving kindness;\nBy night I will sing to him,\nPraise the God of my life.\n9. I will say to God, my rock,\n“Why have you forgotten me?\nWhy do I go mourning,\nOppressed by the foe?\n1 0. With cries that pierce me to the heart,\nMy enemies revile me,\nSaying to me all day long:\n“Where is your God?”\n1 1 . Why are you cast down my soul,\nWhy groan within me?\nHope in God, I will praise him still,\n6\nMy savior and my God.\n1 2. Praise the father, the Son and Holy Spirit,\nBoth now and for ever,\nThe God who is, who was and who will be,\nWorld without end.
