My soul thirsts for God

my soul thirsts for God
but my tongue led me to sin;
but now my heart has been put alight
and is smouldering within me
since You visited me;You who are of all men and angels
the most handsome, perfection of beauty
and astounding in grace,
robed in colourless sapphires,
let Your flames sanctify all who approach You;
clean my guilt and let Your Holy Face shine on me;
purify me from sin and open my ear
to hear and understand Your Odes sung to us;
amen;
