English text
- 1.
- Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
- Such a way as gives us breath;
- Such a truth as ends all strife,
- Such a life as killeth death.
- 2.
- Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength:
- Such a light as shows a feast,
- Such a feast as mends in length,
- Such a strength as makes his guest.

- Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
- Such a joy as none can move,
- Such a love as none can part,
- Such a heart as joys in love.
