O shimmering sound, the music of night,
awaken my soul as I sleep,
come into my heart and my soul with your light,
your love most disturbing and sweet.
O lover of souls, the one who desires,
communion with creatures of earth,
O burn in my heart with the flame of delight,
transform me in darkness to light.
O God of the wind, O God of the fire,
God in the lute and the lyre,
fill all our senses with love and with light,
search us and inflame our desire.
O Spirit of God, you formed us from clay,
moulded from dust of the earth,
breathe into our bones with your Spirit of fire,
bring us from desert to life!
