In lowliness He came on Earth, to rescue us from Satan's snares, o wondrous love that healed our wounds, by taking on our mortal cares. To God the Father and the Son, for ages of eternal day, together with the Spirit be, all glory, honor, might and praise. Till, oh, I have asked to be. I have desired to go, oh I have asked to go, where a few lilies bloom, to fields where flies no sharp and sided hail, and springs not fail, and springs not fail. And I have asked to be, oh I have asked to be, out of the swing of the sea, where the green swell is in the havens dumb, and no storms come, and no storm come

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea, mermaids are chanting the wild Lorelei. Over the streamlet, vapors are born, waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
