You broke the news
Of an everlasting home
Alas my happiness is complete
Our love will meet
At my simple paradise
As I create all things new
I want this happiness to last
And I choose my garment so bright
For the news have arrived
My lover is coming
But first, let me tell you
What pleasures that I seek for
What glories that spell heavenly
For you and for me, all at once
The words and the pictures
And when I see your face
Like a gallant man
claiming his domain
I will try and stand before my new King
With a light heart
bursting with joy and pride
As you tell them the story of us
Far and long
Short but sweet!
So do not stop loving me now
As I described these words here
In which I hope we shall finally meet
As I reach my arms at your feet
Very lovingly and tenderly
