Against You I lean

In this dark and quiet night.

Upon Your shoulders, soft and tender like a pillow,

Rests my exhaustion.

A lullaby, Your gentle lips lightly hum,

Lulling me to sleep sweetly,

In Your trustworthy arms.

        

Upon You I lean

Deep in this mystical night,

So safe and secure in Your embrace,

Sheltering me from storms of fear.

Your eyes, radiant as the Polar Star,

Guide this prodigal heart

To a quick return to Your unfailing arms.
         

Upon You I rely

In this lonesome night,

Cheerful words and laughter, like humorous aphorisms,

Tame my stubborn mind.

The divine voice of wisdom lingers, fragrant as sandalwood;

So unrestrained and free is the night, just like You.

Upon You I rely,

Upon You I lean, in the night.
