A very great delight?

Thine is redemption's right,

Yea, and the power of sole possession Thine,

My Mighty Love!

My noble love!

I found delight in thee,

O fair one! when I saw thee in thy youth,

And, passing o'er thee, with My bond of truth

Betrothed thee unto Me.

Yet will I gather thee to Mine abode,

The dwelling of My rest,

My habitation blest,

Which I have builded and on thee bestowed,

My noble love!

My Mighty Love!

The faithful envoy haste.

Thy knowledge he shall spread, and strength instil
