Hesychast - Eye

Eye


Eye remember your covenant
For I surely will not
My mind wanders constantly to things unholy

Eye stay fixed only on the Lord Christ

Call to the other members of the body; do not deny your need
Turn away from worldly wealth
Turn away from satiation of lust
Is it you causing me to sin?
Must I, must I cut you out?

Look to things which remind me of the love,
The mercy, and the power of our God

When you look deep into things will you see
Their true nature? Will you see
The Uncreated Light flowing all around
Will you see deep into the heart?

Consider and answer me, oh Lord my God;
Light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death
I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless;
I hate the work of those who fall away
It shall not cling to me
