lyrics

יְדִיד נֶֽפֶשׁ, אָב הָרַחֲמָן,
מְשֹׁךְ עַבְדָּךָ אֶל רְצוֹנָךְ.
יָרוּץ עַבְדָּךְ כְּמוֹ אַיָּל,
יִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל מוּל הֲדָרָךְ.
יֶעֱרַב לוֹ יְדִידוּתָךְ,
מִנֹּֽפֶת צוּף וְכׇל־טָֽעַם.

הָדוּר נָאֶה זִיו הָעוֹלָם,
נַפְשִׁי חוֹלַת אַהֲבָתָךְ.
אָנָּא אֵל נָא רְפָא נָא לָהּ,
בְּהַרְאוֹת לָהּ נֹֽעַם זִיוָךְ.
אָז תִּתְחַזֵּק וְתִתְרַפֵּא,
וְהָיְתָה לָךְ שִׁפְחַת עוֹלָם.

וָתִיק יֶהֱמוּ רַחֲמֶֽיךָ,
וְחוּס נָא עַל בֵּן אוֹהֲבָךְ.
כִּי זֶה כַּמָּה נִכְסֹף נִכְסַף,
לִרְאוֹת בְּתִפְאֶֽרֶת עֻזָּךְ.
אָנָּא, אֵלִי, מַחְמַד לִבִּי,
וְחֽוּשָׁה נָּא וְאַל תִּתְעַלָּם.

הִגָּלֵה נָא וּפְרֹשׂ, חֲבִיב,
עָלַי אֶת־סֻכַּת שְׁלוֹמָךְ.
תָּאִיר אֶֽרֶץ מִכְּבוֹדָךְ,
נָגִֽילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בָּךְ.
מַהֵר אָהוּב כִּי בָא מוֹעֵד,
וְחׇנֵּֽנִי כִּימֵי עוֹלָם.

Beloved of the Soul, Parent—the Granter of Mercy,
Draw Your servant into Your will.
Your servant will sprint like a deer,
Bowing towards the conjoining of Your glory.
Your endearment pleases the servant
More than honey of a comb, or any taste.

Glorious: beautiful is the radiance of the world;
My soul is sick for Your love.
Please, God, please: please heal my soul
By showing it the pleasure of Your radiance.
So, grasp and heal—
Then shall You have a servant eternally.

Ancient One, may Your mercies awaken;
Have pity, please, upon the child, Your endearer.
For this much has this child yearningly yearned—
To see the glory of Your strength.
Please, my God, Desire of My Heart,
Be tangible please, and do not hide.

Reveal Yourself please, and spread—Favored One—
Upon me the shelter of Your peace.
Luminous will the earth be of Your substance—
We will be joyous, and we will be glad in You:
Quickly, Loved, for here comes the appointed time,
So grant me Your grace as the days of eternity.
