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
