Be Strengthened O My Soul

Be strengthened O my soul Be ready for eternity Arise and be enlightened And forsake all sin

Your life belongs to Your God Jesus, the Savior of mankind For He awaits you With His strong love

Do not look, O my soul At your dark condition For the Lord has called you The most beautiful among women

Be vigilant in your prayers And look up to heaven Be strong in your struggles And cling to Him with hope

In the night while on my bed I sought the lover of my soul I sought, but I found My cup full of sins

But He awaits my return He runs to me from afar I will not forsake You, Lord Restore me again, O my God

I lie sleeping But my heart is awake Awaiting my beloved’s voice O Lord come speedily to my help

Take ownership of my life Remove from me all distress Grant me that I may Live with You forever

Come O Lover of my soul For my heart is yearning Draw me close to You And into Your depth

Count me among the sheep At Your right hand Accept me in Your kingdom When the time comes

Be strengthened O my soul Be ready for eternity Arise and be enlightened And forsake all sin

Your life belongs to Your God Jesus, the Savior of mankind For He awaits you With His strong love
