Original text and translations
English text
- Since thou, O fondest and truest,
- hast loved me best and longest,
- And now with trust the strongest
- the joy of my heart renewest;
- Since thou art deared and dearer
- while other hearts grow colder,
- And ever, as love is older,
- more lovingly drawest nearer.
- Since now I see in the measure
- of all my giving and taking,
- Thou wert my hand in the making,
- the sense and the soul of my pleasure;
- The good I have repaid thee,
- in heav'n I pray be recorded,
- And all thy love rewarded,
- by God, thy master that made thee.
- Lyrics: Robert Seymour Bridges (1844-1930)
