The Himn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Better 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
Better by far that you stay unfathomed
I could not love someone just like me
Uncomprehending I'm contented
Knowing my station and my place
