While all slumber in the world's deep keep,
I, the bereft, must vigil weep.
While all slumber in the world's deep keep,
I, the bereft, must vigil weep.

The bride within her painted hall does dwell,
Stringing pearls, a jeweled spell.
The bride within her painted hall does dwell,
Stringing pearls, a jeweled spell.
But one bride I have known, forlorn,
Weaving tears, a grief-worn morn.
While all slumber in the world's deep keep,
I, the bereft, must vigil weep.
While all slumber in the world's deep keep,
I, the bereft, must vigil weep.

I count the stars, the night unwinds,
When will joy’s sweet hour I find?
I count the stars, the night unwinds,
When will joy’s sweet hour I find?
My Lord, Giridhar, the city's grace,
When will I see His hallowed face?
While all slumber in the world's deep keep,
I, the bereft, must vigil weep.
While all slumber in the world's deep keep,
I, the bereft, must vigil weep.
