Judah Halevi,
Songs of Exile — Loved of My Soul
“ This poem is attributed by some to Jehudah Halevi, by others to Israel Nagara, the most gifted poet of the sixteenth century, who wrote many sacred poems. Stanza 2, line 3, Numbers xii, 13. Loved of My Soul LOVED of my soul! Father of grace! Lead on Thy servant to Thy favoring sight; He, fleetly as the hart, shall speed his pace To bow him low before thy glorious might. Sweet is Thy love to him beyond compare, Sweeter than honey, fairer than things fair. ”
