O my God,
Emanating from Your being
An aroma sweet and pure
Like baking bread,
Aloe,
Lilacs,
Lavender,
And myrrh;
O my God,
Let Your sweet aroma fill me.
Your beauty is delightfully revealed,
O my God,
Radiating from Your presence
An awesome, glorious sight
Like rare gemstones,
Rainbows,
Fire,
Angel wings,
And light;
O my God,
Let Your lovely vision thrill me.
Your melody is soothing to my ears,
O my God,
Sung in quiet strains accompanied
By the music of the earth
Like gurgling brooks,
Locust,
Bullfrogs,
Ocean waves,
And mirth;
O my God,
Let Your comforting voice still me.
Your taste is sweeter to my mouth than wine,
O my God,
Springing from an endless fountain
So my hungry soul is fed
With honey, milk,
Manna,
Water,
Vegetables,
And bread;
O my God,
Let Your living food instill me.
Your touch incites a longing in my breast,
O my God,
Everlasting arms enfold me;
They’re my solace and my peace
Like warmth of sun,
Babies,
Blankets,
Rose petals,
And fleece;
O my God,
Let Your loving touch fulfill me.
Shake my senses from their long-extended sleep,
O my God,
Train them how to recognize You;
Let me learn of You so much
By Your fragrance,
Beauty,
Flavor,
Speaking voice,
And touch;
O my God,
Send Your Spirit now to will me.
