O Lord, whose head shines with golden glory,
Blessed are those who bow
At Your holy feet.
2
Blessed are those who stand in Your presence,
Gazing upon Your holy face.
How fortunate are those
Who remain close to You.
3
To spend just one day in Your presence
Is far more joyful
Than a thousand days spent elsewhere.
4
O dear Lord, on this earth
We are strangers and pilgrims.
We are journeying onward,
Searching for our eternal home.
5
O Lord Jesus,
Lead us by the light of Your face
And guide us continually
In the path of everlasting goodness.
6
May we hear Your precious and joyful Word
And bow at Your feet,
Free from sorrow,
With grateful and peaceful hearts.
7
Like the sun that causes
The lotus flowers to bloom,
Like the moon that shines
Through the darkness of night,
8
Like a mother giving milk
To her little child,
Like rain falling upon
A dried-up and weary pond,
9
O Beautiful One, remain ever with us!
O our Teacher and Lord,
Let us continually hear
Your pure and precious words.
