MY HEART’S DELIGHT

You O Lord are everything,

My soul could e’er desire,

It’s you I pine for every hour,

Your love sets me on fire.

You satisfy my hunger,

You quench my spirit’s thirst,

Encompass me that I in You,

Be utterly immersed.

Each sunrise at God’s table,

With the Eucharist I’m fed,

I eat the Bread of Angels,

At the Banquet You have spread.

I’ll cleave to You Beloved,

We two will be as one,

The sinner will be wedded,

A spell to God’s own Son.

When eventide will dim the sky,

And nighttide curtains fall,

I’ll ponder every blessing,

As Your mercies I recall.

My eyes will close in slumber,

But my heart awake will stay,

To worship and adore You,

Until the break of day.
