Abiding Friend, Your ambrosial song please sing;
Kindly shatter my deep sleep.
Abiding Friend, gaze at me incessantly,
Oh my beloved, my dearest dear.

Today, severed is life's lethargy;
Mind's exquisite beauty filled its place.
Now, by Your whim, with cascade of honey,
Kindly take and remake me.

Now, in seamless light, in heaven's stream,
Pack me with transcendent feeling.
