Extinguish Thou my eyes: I still can see Thee,

deprive my ears of sound: I still can hear Thee,

and without feet I still can come to Thee,

and without voice I still can call to Thee.

Sever my arms from me, I still will hold Thee

with all my heart as with a single hand,

arrest my heart, my brain will keep on beating,

and Should Thy fire at last my brain consume,

the flowing of my blood will carry Thee.
