I would not love you if I understood you
I do not want to behold your face
Uncomprehending, I'm contented
Knowing my station and my place
O precious saviour, o great creator
Don't give me signs, I don't want to see
Thereto by far, that you stay unfathomed
I could not love someone like me
I would not love you if I understood you
I do not want to behold your face
Uncomprehending, I'm contented
Knowing my station and my place
O precious saviour, o great creator
Don't give me signs, I don't want to see
Thereto by far, that you stay unfathomed
I could not love someone just like me
Uncomprehending, I'm contented
Knowing my station and my place
