"The original lyric is reportedly a Spanish sonnet which begins, "No me mueve, mi Dios, para quererte"; it appeared in Diepenbrock’s ''Geistlicher Blumenstrauss'' (1829), attributed to Francis Xavier. It also appeared in the ''Poesias'' of Theresa de Jesus (1515-1582), showing her as the author, but was not in in her ''Libros'' (Lisbon: 1616), ''Obras'' (Lisbon: 1654), or ''Opera'' (Köln, Germany: 1686). Julian believed the Latin form was probably by Xavier or by a German Jesuit. A translation of the Latin lyrics was published in 1668 in ''Heilige Seelenlust'', by Johann Scheffler, crediting Xavier as the author.<br>"
