The cheeks of the ravishing bride, our heart’s thief

When I saw your face, I said: “Give praise to God!” (with music)

Dull, the world is dull (with music)

Both worlds within my compass come, but this world cannot compass me (with music)

I take the Merciful One’s shape, the Merciful I am (with music)

For a fig you sold your love. Its proper price you did not know (with music)

O love, now you are gone, of soul in body what need have I? (with music)

From your lips. O love, the living waters flow (with music)

Men who in far-sighted called your lips, pure soul – and this is true (with music)

No soul can live without you (with music)

Without you neither world nor soul is needed (with music)
