On my bed night after night,
I sought Him whom my soul loves.
I sought Him, but I found Him not,
I found Him not...
I sought Him whom my soul loves.
I sought Him, but I found Him not,
I found Him not...
I will rise now and go,
About in the city,
In the streets and in the squares.
I will seek Him whom my soul loves.
I sought Him, but found Him not.
About in the city,
In the streets and in the squares.
I will seek Him whom my soul loves.
I sought Him, but found Him not.
The watchmen who go,
About in the city found me,
Have you seen Him
Whom my soul loves?
Scarcely had I passed them,
When I found Him
Whom my soul loves,
My soul loves!
About in the city found me,
Have you seen Him
Whom my soul loves?
Scarcely had I passed them,
When I found Him
Whom my soul loves,
My soul loves!
I found Him whom my soul loves!
I held Him and would not let go.
Until I had brought Him
Into my mother’s house,
Into the chamber
Of her who conceived me
My mother is grace,
And I am a sinner saved by grace,
Saved by grace.
I held Him and would not let go.
Until I had brought Him
Into my mother’s house,
Into the chamber
Of her who conceived me
My mother is grace,
And I am a sinner saved by grace,
Saved by grace.
I found Him,
I found Him whom my soul loves,
I held Him,
I found Him.
I found Him.
My soul loves You, my Lord, my Lord.
I found Him whom my soul loves,
I held Him,
I found Him.
I found Him.
My soul loves You, my Lord, my Lord.
