I Run to the Fountain

'O Lord, I run to the spring; I desire the source of the water. 

In You is the fountain of life, an inexhaustible source; 

in Your light there is a light which will never be darkened... 

Seeing this light, my eye grows keener.  

Drinking from this fountain, 

my inner thirst becomes more acute. 

I run to the fountain, 

panting for its water..... 

I run like a deer...'

St. Augustine
