When thy love its love awoke;
Henceforth I myself resign,
Love, to be for ever thine.
Love, Whose wondrous love eternal
Thee my willing Ransom made;
Love, Who at the throne supernal
Pleadest now that Ransom paid;
Henceforth I myself resign,
Love, to be for ever thine.
Love, Who wilt to heaven’s bright story
