English text
My God, my life, my love!
To Thee, to Thee I call;
I cannot live if thou remove,
For Thou art all in all.
Nor earth, nor all the sky,
Can one delight afford,
No, not a drop of real joy,
Without Thy presence, Lord.
Thou art the sea of love
Where all my pleasures roll,
The circle where my passions move,
And center of my soul.
