TEXTS AND TRANSLATIONS Kreek: Taaveti Laul Nr. 104

Schumann: Liebst du um Schönheit

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Praise the Lord!

O Lord my God, Thou art very great.

O Lord, how manifold are thy works!

In wisdom hast thou made them all.

Glory be to Thee, O Lord, who has made all things!

Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and evermore. Amen.

Love what has beauty: Oh, do not love me!

Love always sunlight, So like your golden hair!

Love what is childlike: Oh, do not love me!

Love always Springtime, It comes back every year!

Love what you treasure: Oh, do not love me!

Love the wise Mermaid, Who comes with sparkling pearls.

Love what is true love: Oh, yes, do love me!

Love that is true love, Oh, yes, do love me!

Love me forever, Such love I give to you!

André Thomas (b. 1952)
