Nominalizer vs te-form: which to use when subordinate to 望む?

Question

The following are some song lyrics

あなたが望むなら この胸を射通して

What's the difference between

あなたがこの胸を射通すの望むなら

And

あなたがこの胸を射通して望むなら

Answer 1

You have to use ～するのを望む or ～することを望む when the wish itself is that verb. ～して望む means something different.

• あなたが望むなら この胸を射通して
  If you wish (it), shoot through this heart!
  _{(Shooting is a request; the wish can be either shooting or something different)}
• あなたがこの胸を射通すの(を)望むなら
  If you wish to shoot through this heart...
  _{(を is omitted after の; shooting is the wish itself)}
• あなたがこの胸を射通して望むなら
  If you wish it penetrating through this heart...
  _{(Shooting is a method of making the wish, and the wish itself is something different)}
