Avraham Fried
Beloved of the Soul
Beloved of the soul, merciful Father
Draw Your servant to Your will
Let Your servant run like a deer
To bow to Your splendor
For Your beloved delights in You
More than honey and all taste
Glorious beauty, the light of the world, my soul is sick with love for You
Please, God, heal her, by showing her Your pleasantness
Then she will be strengthened and healed, and she will be a source of world's joy
Please, have mercy and cover with compassion the son of Your beloved
For how much I have longed, I have yearned to see in beauty and strength
Please, my God, delight of my heart, hasten, please, and do not hide
Reveal, please, and spread, my dear, over me the shelter of Your peace
Illuminate the earth with Your glory, rejoice and be glad in her
Hasten, my beloved, for the time has come, and comfort me as in days of old
