The sweetest thing of all

To remember You, O Lord, is the sweetest thing of all.
Because You are good and Your mercy endures forever
Let my soul repeat it with all gladness and joy
Immensely touched by Your awesome greatness
Now my heart sings praises to Your Holy Name

You have made me out of the dust
And crown me with life and power
I am designed for Your joy and pleasure
That I might find joy and pleasure in You, Lord

Behold now, I am eating swine’s crumbs
In your houses You have treated me with such love
Nothing is lacking from Your goodness
But now, I am in a strange land
Toiling with sweats in my brow
Weary and weeping in the scorching heat

But, remembering You my soul runs like a bride toward the groom
You have loved, have been loving us with greatest love
Purest of all
So, to remember You and Your loving-kindness is the sweetest of all

How even sweeter is to be remembered by You O Lord,
You have blessed even the roughest rock to bring forth fresh water...
The dead and stiff stick
To blossom the flowers; so beautiful and fragrant
And You showered the dessert with bountiful manna

Your love, Lord
Let me not forget.
And make my heart to return whole-heartedly
To You
And once again enjoy that sweetest feast
And the company of the greatest mystery
When heavens meets earth
