¶Lyrics / Text

I cannot ope mine eyes But thou art ready there to catch My morning soul and sacrifice, Then we must needs for that day make a match. My God, what is a heart ? Silver, or gold, or precious stone, Or star, or rainbow, or a part Of all these things, or all of them in one ? My God, what is a heart ? That thou should'st it so eye and woo, Pouring upon it all thy art, As if that thou hadst nothing else to do ? Indeed, man's whole estate Amounts (and richly) to serve thee ; He did not heaven and earth create, Yet studies them, not him by whom they be. Teach me thy love to know ; That this new light which now I see May both the work and workman show ; Then by a sunbeam I will climb to thee.
