Solomon Ibn Gabirol
Early will I seek Thee,
God, my refuge strong
Late prepare to meet Thee
With my evening song.
Although unto Thy greatness
I with trembling soar,
Yet my inmost thinking
Lies Thine eyes before.
What this frail heart dreameth
And my tongue’s poor speech—
Can that, even distant,
To Thy greatness reach?
Thou, God, are great in mercy,
Thou wilt not despise
Praises which till death’s hour
From my soul shall rise.
