Lyrics


Refrain
Let my prayer come like incense before you.
Let my prayer come like incense before you.
Let my prayer come,
come like incense before you.

1. O Lord, to you I call;
hasten to me;
hear my voice when I call upon you, Lord.
Let my prayer come like incense,
sweet incense before you;
I lift up my hands to you
like the evening sacrifice.
2. O Lord, set a watch before my mouth,
set a guard at the door of my lips.
Toward you, O God, my Lord,
my eyes are upturned;
in you, O Lord, I take refuge;
strip me not of life.
Final Refrain
Let my prayer,
let my prayer come like incense before you.
Let my prayer come, come like incense before you.
Let my prayer come like incense before you. (Repeat)
Solo
Adóro te devóte,
latens Déitas,
Quae sub his figúris vere látitas:
Tibi se cor meum totum súbjicit,
Quia te comtémplans totum deficit.
