He dies, He dies. | |||
The heavenly lover dies, | |||
The tidings strike a doleful sound on my poor heartstrings. | |||

He lies in the cold caverns of the ground. | |||

On the dear bosom of your God. | |||
He bled a thousand drops for you | |||
A thousand drops of richest blood. | |||

He dies, He dies.
The heavenly lover dies,
The tidings strike a doleful sound on my poor heartstrings.
Deep
He lies in the cold caverns of the ground.
Come saints and drop
A tear or two
On the dear bosom of your God.
He bled a thousand drops for you
A thousand drops of richest blood.
