How many times have I thought
To feet thine should've my heart brought,
To feet thine should've my heart brought,
Holding thy feet, friend mine, will express
How much do I love thee in secret,
How much do I love thee in secret,
Thought as Thou hath been the God of Heaven
How could a mere mortal like me say my love even,
How could a mere mortal like me say my love even,
Thought will live at a distance from thee
All through my life will just remain a devotee,
All through my life will just remain a devotee,
No one wilt know my love so deep
No one wilt see where my tears me keep,
No one wilt see where my tears me keep,
Now today whence Thou hath arrived to ask
How can I say how much Thou do I love.
How can I say how much Thou do I love.
