My Jesus, My life, You alone are my hope.
1.
In the darkness of sorrow,
In the lonely moments of my life,
My Beloved, You come quickly to me,
Bringing comfort and peace within my heart.
2.
Even when those closest to me abandon me,
And my companions go away,
You are always by my side
When I truly need someone.
3.
You are my lamp in the night;
You are sweetness upon my lips.
In the dark clouds of my boundless sorrow,
You are the beautiful rainbow shining through.
4.
I have no other refuge;
Ah, I have no one else.
You alone draw near to me,
Know my pain personally,
And take away my sorrow.
5.
I have only one desire:
I want to see You before me.
At all times,
I want to behold Your face
And think of You constantly.
