In Nomeni Patri


I can live without food, for he nourishes me.

I need not any money, for to him I do not owe.

I shan’t require a majestic domain, for one already awaits.

For love I will not beg, for his is grandest.

For work I shall not devote myself, for my pledge is mightier.

For my peers I will not sway, for my allegiance is his.

No time I count down, for my eternity is near.

No shoulder need I cry on, for his is already here.

No high shall I seek, for with his love my spirit soars.

My Lord, My savior.
