|---|---|
Ich will dir mein Herze schenken, |
I will give you my heart; |
Senke dich, mein Heil, hinein! |
sink within, my Savior! |
Ich will mich in dir versenken; |
I will sink into you; |
Ist dir gleich die Welt zu klein, |
although the world is too small for you, |
Ei, so sollst du mir allein |
ah, you alone shall be for me |
Mehr als Welt und Himmel sein. |
more than heaven and earth. |
