Waterwheel Quilt Block and a Song for Sunday



As the Deer
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.



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.

  1. We sang the Palestrina version of this at the church dedication in Tohoku.
    We sang acapella and in Latin but it was so beautiful. We have several lovely English versions too.
