Anima mea liquefacta est [35]
XXXV.
ZOo smelte ik weg wanneer Gy spreekt,
Myn Lief, myn Bruidegom.
Myn hart keert om en om
Nu Gy 't geheel verbreekt.
Uw vlam schiet diep en dieper in.
Ik vrees geen golfgewelt.
Ik ben in rust gestelt.
O kracht van uwe min!
Hoe smelt Gy al myn ingewant
Door uw doordringendt vuur!
Gy zyt en blyft myn stuur,
Uw stuur myn rechterhant.
Myn rechterhant, aen U verknocht,
Volgt willigh uw gelei,
Dat nimmer van my scheî.
Gy hebt my duur gekocht.
Myn Lief, myn Bruidegom.
Myn hart keert om en om
Nu Gy 't geheel verbreekt.
Uw vlam schiet diep en dieper in.
Ik vrees geen golfgewelt.
Ik ben in rust gestelt.
O kracht van uwe min!
Hoe smelt Gy al myn ingewant
Door uw doordringendt vuur!
Gy zyt en blyft myn stuur,
Uw stuur myn rechterhant.
Myn rechterhant, aen U verknocht,
Volgt willigh uw gelei,
Dat nimmer van my scheî.
Gy hebt my duur gekocht.
