You who loves my soul

Orginal Source: Yedid Nefesh by Rabbi Elazar Azriki

Lover of my soul, merciful Lord, bring me close to You. 

I will run to you like a gazelle;  to prostrate before Your glory

For Your companion ship is purer than any fine taste or flavor. 

Perfect, pleasing, radiance of the world, my soul desires Your love. 

Please, God, heal her now, as You show her the pleasantness of Your light. 

Now, strengthen and heal her, and she will be for You an eternal servant. 

Ancient one, may your mercies be made manifest aroused , 

And have compassion on the child of Your lover. 

For it is so long that I have faithfully waited, to see the glory of Your strength

Please, my God, the desire of my Heart, hurry and do not hide! 

Please, my beloved, reveal yourself and spread over me 

the shelter of Your peace. 

Fills the world with the light of your glory, so that we may rejoice Let me be happy in You. 

Be quick, my lover, for the time has come, and have mercy on me for all time.
