This melody came to me one day
in gratitude for the great favors and blessings of God, as I was reflecting on this Hidden Word.
May we always see this day for what it is, may we live in gratitude,
with our eyes wide open and know that our longing has already been met.
lyrics
O Son o Desire!
The learned and wise have for long years striven and failed
to attain the presence of the All-Glorious;
they have spent their lives in search of Him,
yet did not behold the beauty of His countenance.
Thou without the least effort didst attain Thy goal,
and without search hast obtained the object of thy quest.
Yet, notwithstanding, thou didst remain so wrapt in the veil of self,
that thine eyes beheld not the beauty of the Beloved,
nor did thy hand touch the hem of His robe.
Ye that have eyes, behold and wonder.
