My Beloved, Oh My Love, Take, Take, Take,
Take my heart, Oh, take, take, take!
Imprint His face within my soul,
With Him, I'll lose my very all.
My love, a true and radiant gold,
He brightens every heart's fold.
He stole my peace, yet gave me pain,
My Love, he stole, and left this stain.
Oh, take, take, take,
Take my heart, Oh, take, take, take!
Take my heart, Oh, take, take, take!
The world, a foe to love's sweet song,
May wound us, though the hurt be long.
With laughter, I embrace the blow,
Just let my Love my heart bestow.
Let the world learn from us,
This art of love, so luminous.
Let the world learn from us,
This art of love, so luminous.
He stole my peace, yet gave me pain,
My Love, he stole, and left this stain.
Oh, take, take, take,
Take my heart, Oh, take, take, take!
Upon my Love, I'll pour my all,
For love's sweet sake, I'll gladly fall.
To test the lovers' fervent plea,
Is a cruel and bitter decree.
To test the lovers' fervent plea,
Is a cruel and bitter decree.
He stole my peace, yet gave me pain,
My Love, he stole, and left this stain.
Oh, take, take, take,
Take my heart, Oh, take, take, take!
Imprint His face within my soul,
With Him, I'll lose my very all.
My love, a true and radiant gold,
He brightens every heart's fold.
He stole my peace, yet gave me pain,
My Love, he stole, and left this stain.
Oh, take, take, take,
Take my heart, Oh, take, take, take!
My Beloved, take, take, my Love, my Love.
