DEER”
1. As the deer panteth for
the water, so my soul longeth
after thee. You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship thee. REFRAIN:
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To you alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to
worship
thee. 2. You’re my friend and you are my brother, even though you are a king. I love you more than any other, so much more
than
anything. REFRAIN. 3. I want you more than gold or silver, only you can satisfy. You alone are the real joy giver and the
apple of my eye. REFRAIN. “BREAK
THOU THE
BREAD OF
LIFE”
1. Break thou the bread of life, Dear Lord, to me, As thou didst break the loaves beside the
sea; Beyond the sacred page I seek thee, Lord; My spirit pants for thee, O living Word! 2. Bless thou the truth, dear Lord, to me, to me, As thou didst bless the bread by Galilee; Then shall all bondage cease, all fetters
fall; And I shall find my peace, My all in all.
Amen. ( o v e r ) “BE THOU
MY VISION”
1. Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that thou art; Thou my best thought . . . by day and by
night, Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light. 2. Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word; I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord. Thou my soul’s shelter, thou my high tower, Raise thou me heav’nward, O Pow’r of my
pow’r. 3. Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise, Thou mine inheritance, now and always; Thou, and thou only, first in my heart, Great God of heaven, my treasure thou art. 4. Light of my soul, after victory won, May I reach heaven’s joys, O heaven’s
Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall. Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
