Life of my Life

Thou art my All in all, O Lord!―The Life of my life, the Essence of essence;

In the three worlds I have none else but Thee to call my own.

Thou art my peace, my joy, my hope; Thou my support, my wealth, my glory;

Thou my wisdom and my strength; Thou art my home, my place of rest; 

My dearest friend, my next of kin; my present and my future,

Thou my heaven and my salvation; Thou art my scriptures my commandments;

Thou art my ever gracious Guru; Thou the Spring of my boundless bliss.

Thou art the Way and Thou the Goal; Thou the Adorable One, O Lord!

Thou art the Mother tender-hearted; Thou the chastising Father;

Thou the Creator and Protector; Thou the Helms man who dost steer

My craft across the sea of life.
