A flash illumined all my soul; The heart of my heart opened wide. O joy, O bliss, what do I find! My love, my love you are here And you are here, my love, my all!
And I was searching thee - From all eternity you were there Enthroned in majesty! From that day forth, wherever I roam, I feel Him standing by O'ver hill and dale, high mount and vale, Far far away and high.
The moon's soft light, the stars so bright, The glorious orb of day, He shines in them; His beauty - might - Reflected lights are they. The majestic morn, the melting eve, The boundless billowing sea, In nature's beauty, songs of birds, I see through them - it is He.
When dire calamity seizes me, The heart seems weak and faint, All nature seems to crush me down, With laws that never bend. Meseems I hear Thee whispering sweet My love, 'I am near', 'I am near'. My heart gets strong. With thee, my love, A thousand deaths no fear. Thou speakest in the mother's lay Thou shuts the babies eye, When innocent children laugh and play, I see Thee standing by.
When holy friendship shakes the hand, He stands between them too; He pours the nectar in mother's kiss And the baby's sweet 'mama'. Thou wert my God with prophets old, All creeds do come from Thee, The Vedas, Bible, and Koran bold Sing Thee in Harmony.
'Thou art, ' Thou art' the Soul of souls In the rushing stream of life. 'Om tat sat om.' Thou art my God, My love, I am thine, I am thine.
