my soul has been lukewarm
but You embrace it with loving arms
I have been clutched by forces I disgust
but I turned to whom I trust
this cup has been empty
only thee has come and filled it justly
I was no longer a pity
for I have gained sanctity
it was with thy mercy
that I acted with piety
my thirst has been quenched
with thy love so immense
how I wish I could heighten
the blazing fire wire within men,
glad I discern this today
before the hour of my dying day.
