Translated by A. Z. Foreman - Since I am Corruptly Fallen lyrics

Since I am corruptly fallen, Straying from you constantly, To ascend your sacred mountain Is the right of rights for me. There on high your veils are riven, Every cover nullified, There above all worldly nothings Is your glory magnified. Oh to drink on high forever Where redemption's waters flow, Drink until I thirst no longer For the fading world below, Live in wait for my Lord's coming, Wakeful for the coming night When I swiftly open to him In his image, in his sight.
