- Because of Your Glory
- 1 As the eyes of a son towards his father,
- so are my eyes, O Lord, always towards you.
- 2 Because with you are my breasts (for milk) and my delight.
- 3 Do not turn away your love from me, O Lord,
- and take not your sweetness from me.
- 4 Stretch out to me, O Lord, your right hand at all times,
- and be my guide until the end, according to your will.
- 5 Let me be beautiful before you, because of your glory,
- and because of your name let me be saved from evil.
- 6 And your repose, O Lord, let it abide with me,
- and also the fruits of your love.
- 7 Teach me the odes of your truth,
- that I may produce fruits in you.
- 8 And open to me the lyre of your holy spirit,
- so that with all its notes I may praise you, O Lord.
- 9 And according to the abundance of your mercies,
- so will you grant it to me.
- And hasten to grant our petitions;
- 10 and you are capable of providing all our needs.
- Hallelujah!
