O soul within my soul
Be not as silent as the grave
Speak tenderly to me O LORD
From doubt, come rescue, save
O soul within my soul
O light within my head
Deliver me from darkness
Deliver me from dread
O soul within my soul
O spring of pure delight
Bubble up to cool my heated breast
To calm my quaking fright
O soul within my soul
O brimming brook within me
Rise up and overflow my banks
Of rotting rubbish rid me
O soul within my soul
O slayer of that which slew me
Come balm of Gilead anoint my head
In purity, renew me
