Translation by Matthew Parker, Archbishop (1504 - 1575)
Even like the hunted hind
Language: English  after the Latin
Even like the hunted hind The waterbrooks desire, E'en thus my soul, that fainting is, To thee would fain aspire. My soul did thirst to God, to God of Life and Grace. It said e'en thus: when shall I come To see God's lively face?
