|
That I might take my prey |
|
Of this adventure in God |
|
I had to fly so high |
|
That I was lost from all sight |
|
And through this adventure |
|
I faltered in my flight |
|
Yet Love had already flown so high |
|
That I took my prey |
|
When I ascended higher |
|
My vision was dazzled |
|
The most difficult conquest |
|
Was achieved in this darkness |
|
But since it was Love I was seeking |
|
The leap that I made was blind |
|
Yet Love had already flown so high |
|
That I took my prey |
|
The higher I ascended |
|
In this so lofty seeking |
|
The lower and more subdued |
|
and abased I became |
|
In a way so wonderful |
|
My one flight past a thousand |
|
For the hope of heaven's glory |
|
Will always attain. |
|
And this my only seeking |
|
I have not been disappointed |
|
For Love had already flown so high |
|
That I took my prey |
|
That I might take my prey |
|
Of this adventure in God |
