PART SECOND.

MENDELSSOHN’S 42d PSALM, (“AS THE HART PANTS.’’”)

1. Cuorts.—As the hart pants after the

water brooks, so panteth my soul for Thee, O |

God! — 2. AIR. (Soprano.)—For my soul thirst- eth for God, yea, for the living God! When shall I come to appear before the presence of

God?

3. Rec. AND CHorvs. (Soprano & Alto.)— My tears have been my meat day and night, while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God? Now when I think thereupon, I pour out my heart by myself. For I had gone forth most gladly with the people, and to lead them forth to Jehovah’s temple, in the voice of praise and gladness, like as a people keeping holiday.

4. CHorvus.—Why, my soul, art thou so vexed, and why art thou cast down in me? Trust thou in God, for I will yet give Him great thanks for the help of His good counte- nance,

5. Rec. (Soprano.)—My God, within me is my soul cast down; therefore will I remem-

‘ber thee, at the mighty noise of the waters ;

deep calleth unto deep at the noise of the water spouts. All Thy waves and all Thy bil- lows are gone over me.

6. QuintrETTo. (Soprano, two Tenors and two Basses .)—The Lord hath commanded his kindness in the day time; in the night did I sing of Him, and made my prayer to God, the God of my life. My God, within me is my soul cast down; why hast thou thy servant forgotten ? why go I on thus heavily? Ah, why, while my foe prevails.

7. CHorvs.— Why, my soul, art thou so vexed,’and why art thou cast down in me? Trust thou in God, for I will yet give Him great thanks, for the help of His good counte- nance. Praised be the Lord, the God of Isra- el, from henceforth and forevermore.
