ECSTASY
My thoughts astounded asked me why
Towards the whirling wheels on high
In ecstasy I rush and fly.
The living God is my desire,
It carries me on wings of fire,
Body and soul to Him aspire.
God is at once my joy and fate,
This yearning me He did create,
At thought of Him I palpitate.
Shall song with all its loveliness
Submerge my soul with happiness
Before the God of Gods it bless?
