When the heart is hard and parched up ,

Come upon me with a shower of mercy   

           

         When grace is lost from life  

              Come with a burst of song   

                     

                     When tumultuous work raises its din on all sides  shutting me out from beyond ,

     Come to me my lord of silence 

                      With thy peace and rest  .

When my beggarly heart sits crouched ,shut up in a corner ,

      Break open the door ,my king ,and come with the ceremony of a king .

            When desire blinds the mind with delusion and dust , O thou holy one , thou wakeful ,come with thy light and thy thunder  .
