805.  Ariyaatha samaadhaanam

“O Christ! in Thee my soul”

1.Ariyaatha samaadhaanam kurayaatha modam
  Pand-anekar kanda pole kande njaan kristhuvil
 

Kristhu allaath-enneyaarum thrupthanaakkaayippol
  Nithy santhosha jeevanum kristhuvil njaan kande

2.Vishwasthanaam ninne vittu vishramam thedi njaan
  Kadannu ninne pokumbol pidichu nin sneham

3.Potta maravikalil neer pottanaay njaan thedi
  Kudikkuvaan kuninjappol pottichirichava

4.Sundaranaam ninne kaanmaan kannukalkkaa kaazhcha
  Krupayaal kittum naal vare paapam en modamaay

Meaning:

1.
A peace I had never known,
A joy that never fades—
Just as many before me have discovered,
I too have found them in Christ.

No one but Christ could ever satisfy me;
Now I have found in Christ
Eternal joy and everlasting life.

2.
Leaving You, my faithful Lord,
I went searching for rest elsewhere.
But whenever I wandered away from You,
Your love held on to me
And drew me back.

3.
I searched for water
In broken, empty cisterns,
Thinking I would find something to drink.
But when I bent down to drink,
They mocked at me.
 4.
Until the day Your grace gives my eyes
The sight to behold You, the Beautiful One,
Sin may still appear attractive to me.
But when I finally see You,
My true joy will be found in You alone.
