Joy Restored

My blessed Lord, in You I find
Rich consolation for my mind
With all Your joy, my being fills
For now I want Your will

Night’s unbelief has fled away
It, You replaced with faith of day
Now after You, I thirst and yearn
With all Your hope, my heart will burn

I wait for You through all the night
Until my faith becomes as sight
Then I will see you as You are
And You are near, though once thought far

My heart within me whirls and leaps
Just as Your servant in the streets
To bring Your ark back to its place
And feel the sunshine of Your face
