Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquarum, ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.
Sitivit anima mea ad Deum vivum; quando veniam et apparebo ante faciem tuam?
Tu dulcedo, tu spes, tu vita beata,
Voluptas amata tu lumen et pax amantibus es.

English.png English translation

As the deer pants for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for the living God; When will I come and appear before your face?
You are sweetness, you are hope, you make life blessed,
You are the beloved light of pleasure and lover of peace.

Translation by James Gibb
