Night Whispers

Yearning

Victor Robert Farrell

O soul within my soul

Be not as silent as the grave

Speak tenderly to me O LORD

From doubt, come rescue, save

 

O soul within my soul

O light within my head

Deliver me from darkness 

Deliver me from dread

 

O soul within my soul

O spring of pure delight

Bubble up to cool my heated breast

To calm my quaking fright

 

O soul within my soul

O brimming brook within me

Rise up and overflow my banks

Of rotting rubbish rid me

 

O soul within my soul

O slayer of that which slew me

Come balm of Gilead anoint my head

In purity, renew me
