1  For thee, my God, for thee alone
My spirit longs with ardent love;
On earth beside thee there is none,
And none but thee in heaven above.

2  Fulfil, O God, my heart's desires;
While I look up, look down to bless;
Each holy wish thy grace inspires
May I in thy deep love possess.


3  My soul cleaves heavy to the dust,
But thou canst raise and set it free;
And then, in calm and joyful trust,
It soars from earth to heaven and thee.

4  Now in this stillness, as the breath
Of prayer steals upward to the skies,
O give my soul the wings of faith,
That it to thee may gladly rise;


5  That, breaking through each fleshly link
Which binds its being to the clod,
At life's clear wellspring may it drink,
Rejoicing in the smile of God.
