When the heart grows tight and no space remains for calm,
I seek refuge in closeness to God;
for He never disappoints those who turn to Him,
nor abandons those who take shelter in Him.
If people turn away from me, His affection is enough.
If wounds weigh heavily upon me, He tends them with His gentleness.
And if disappointments keep coming, my hope remains fastened to His door.
O Lord, take hold of hearts wearied by everything except nearness to You.
Fill them with tranquility from You,
and envelop us in Your kindness—
the kindness that never fails those who trust in You,
and never turns away those who think well of You
