My Soul’s Sole Desire, by Hester Pulter

ARONS

Thou that didst on the 

chaos

 move,

Illustrious Spirit

 of life and love:

O, pity me,

And on my dark soul 

deign

 to shine;

Sin, Death, and Hell, will all resign

Their place to Thee.

Then shall my soul’s sad shades of night,

Be turned into 

meridian

 light,

Until my story

Begun below, goes on above

In joy, and life, being crowned by love

With endless glory.

Then those unknown celestial 

lays

,

Those hallelujahs to Thy praise,

I’ll ever sing;

And Thine immensity implore,

Thy majesty alone adore:

My God and King.
