V. CANT.
I Have lost all:I have nothing more to lose.I have found all:I have nothing more to seek.I am contented: I desire nothing else.I am God's. I apprehend nothing now.
I have left all for God.I have found all in God.My desires have there met together,As Rivers do in the Sea.Without noise: without distinction.Without motion: without violence.Without those narrow banks,Which locked them in, on the Earth.
As soon as I lost the sight of him,I entred into an Ocean.I plunged my self into these Abysses.I lost my self happily.I confounded my Being with that of God's.I was in time,And I believ'd I was in Eternity.
descriptionPage 380
I was a Creature,And I found my self united to the Divinity.
O mysterious and fortunate night!Where God unites himself to our spirit,In the silence of its desires and thoughts.O how sweet is that hour, but how short.Let all flesh be silent in the presence of our Lord.
