1589 I do not know, O Lord, at what hour You will come.<br />

And so I keep constant watch and listen<br />

As Your chosen bride,<br />

Know<strong>in</strong>g that You like to come unexpected,<br />

Yet, a pure heart will sense You from afar, O Lord.<br />

I wait for You, Lord, <strong>in</strong> calm and silence,<br />

With great long<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>my</strong> heart<br />

And with <strong>in</strong>v<strong>in</strong>cible desire.<br />

I feel that <strong>my</strong> love for You is chang<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to fire,<br />

And that it will rise up to heaven like a flame at life‟s end,<br />

And then all <strong>my</strong> wishes will be fulfilled.<br />

Come then, at last, <strong>my</strong> most sweet Lord<br />

And take <strong>my</strong> thirst<strong>in</strong>g heart<br />

There, to Your home <strong>in</strong> the lofty regions of heaven,<br />

Where Your eternal life perdures.<br />

Life on this earth is but an agony,<br />

As <strong>my</strong> heart feels it is created for the heights.<br />

For it the lowlands of this life hold no <strong>in</strong>terest,<br />

For <strong>my</strong> homeland is <strong>in</strong> heaven – this I firmly believe.<br />
