Thee among all men do I honour;
Thee among all men do I know.
Lo! in the beauty of all thee do I see.

In the mouth of all I have heard, I have heard
The sweet voice of thy lips.

Thee this time I have sought and found;
Thee amongst all do I worship;
Lo! I for all have given my life.

To the work of all amongst all
I have devoted my heart.12
