Cloud of Unknowing: that I may perfectly love Thee

All my longings lie open before you, O Lord;
my sighing is not hidden from you.

God, unto whom all hearts be open, and unto whom all will speaketh, and unto whom no privy thing is hid. I beseech Thee so for to cleanse the intent of mine heart with the unspeakable gift of Thy grace, that I may perfectly love Thee, and worthily praise Thee.
