7. Recit. (S, B) Soul and Jesus
(Soul)
Ah Jesus, my repose,
My light, where bidest thou

(Jesus)
O Soul, behold! I am with thee.

(Soul)
With me?
But here is nought but night.

(Jesus)
I am thy faithful friend,
Who e'en in darkness guards,
Where nought but fiends are found.

(Soul)
Break through then with thy beam and light of comfort here.

(Jesus)
The hour draweth nigh
In which thy battle's crown
Shall thee a sweet refreshment bring.
