Lest Thee do then forsake me?

Nay, for I do love Thee so,

I fain would choose a song

Built from my chosen tung,

And though it be but chattering

Of a soul bereft of reasoning,

I know Thou would’st love it as Thine own,

For I do love Thee so!”

This was not given for another, but is her own cry:

I beseech Thee, Lord, for naught!
