O
thine own gracious lips that thy delights are to
be with the children of men, my soul longeth for
thee, my heart yearneth now towards thee. Wherefore I
invite thee to come unto me with all that devotion and
that love wherewith any loving soul hath ever invited
thee to itself. Come, then, O most beloved Spouse of my
soul; come, O most beloved and only Love of my soul;
come and turn aside awhile into the poor and wretched
hovel of my heart. Come, thou heavenly Physician, come
and heal my stricken soul. Come, O Friend, a thousand-
fold above all others beloved, come and enrich my utter
poverty.

Come, thou bright and genial Sun, and scatter the
thick darkness which hangs upon my soul. Come, thou
sweetest Manna, and satisfy my exceeding hunger.
Come, O Jesus, incomparable in thy loveliness; come,
thou beloved of my heart’s vows; come and sup with me
in the vile chamber of my heart. And although I have
made ready nothing which may beseem thy dazzling
magnificence, yet wilt thou find therein one dish of
savoury meat such as thou lovest, a will which tends to
thee alone, and affections wholly thine.

O thou my only Love, I long for thy coming with most
eager desire, I await thy coming with yearning love. O
thou fairest of the sons of men, O spring of inexhaustible
sweetness, O thou sweeter than all sweetest delights,
