I hunger now, I thirst for God: now this poor sinner's life renew, and satisfy with endless peace, and fill me with your righteousness. 4 Shine on your work, disperse the gloom, light in your light I'll see anew: say to my soul, 'Your light is come, glory divine is risen on you, your warfare's done, your mourning's past; look up, your tears shall end at last!'
