No word of love I say to her,
No step do I delay for her,
But ever as I go,
I cry, dear Lord, take care of her,
Her heavy burden bear for her,
And some day let her know,
That all my being cried for her,
Though now I seem to hide from her,
Her face I always miss.
Whatever life may bring to her,
My heart will always cling to her,
In mercy tell her this!
