追求上帝的灵魂的渴望

我的爱人!我生活在她的面前,她是我一切愿望的唯一对象,她知道我心中的火焰是多么热烈,而且能轻易地使它的火焰加倍!我所遇到的一切是多么令人愉快啊!摆脱了对逆境的恐惧,我发现即使悲伤也变得甜蜜;因为这是你指派给我的。我看到你展示你神圣的财富和荣耀;我只有我的生命可以回报,拿去吧,我很乐意放弃。你的意志是我所寻找的宝藏,因为你既忠诚又坚强;让我在那里,顺从和温顺,整天休息自己。我的精神和官能都衰竭了; Oh, finish what love has begun! Destroy what is sinful and frail, And dwell in the soul thou hast won! Dear theme of my wonder and praise, I cry, who is worthy as thou? I can only be silent and gaze! 'Tis all that is left to me now. Oh, glory in which I am lost, Too deep for the plummet of thought; On an ocean of Deity tossed, I am swallowed, I sink into nought. Yet, lost and absorbed as I seem, I chant to the praise of my King; And, though overwhelmed by the theme, Am happy whenever I sing.
