Lyics

O, thou in whose presence my soul takes delight,

On whom in affliction I call!

My comfort by day, and my song in the night,

My hope, my salvation, my all!



Where dost thou at noontide resort with thy sheep

To feed on the pastures of love?

For why in the valley of death should I weep,

Or alone in the wilderness rove?



O, why should I wander an alien from thee,

And cry in the desert for bread?

Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see,

And smile at the tears I have shed.



You daughters of Zion declare, have you seen 

The star that on Israel shone?

Say, if in your tents my Beloved has been,

And where with his flock he has gone.
