    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.
