No Silêncio do Altar
Frei Gilson
In the Silence of the Altar
Keep me Lord in your courts and hide me in your altar
For there I am happy, this is my greatest pleasure, to worship you
Just as the most holy virgin
Loved you in secret, I also want to love you
It is in your altar that I am happy
Your altar is my best hiding place
Away from the crowds in solitude
This is my greatest pleasure, to worship you
In the silence of the altar
(I want to love you, I offer you all that I am in the silence of the altar
My greatest pleasure is to know you my Lord in the silence of the altar)
I offer you all that I am
Without reservations and without conditions
I offer you my pain
I want to know you
I want to seek you
In You, I will hide
I will offer myself to You
