The steam of love rolls up into the air
In some holy holocaust's fashion!
Oceans are sleeping there;
Their whirlpools encircling
The deepest sighs of humanity
As the warmest hugs of a love-sick God!
Ice and fire, in utmost rapture
Merge meekly to fill the cup!
The Lamb, innocence incarnated,
Is mystically reborn in bread and wine!
Calvary, Tabor and the empty tomb,
Like a choral symphony, in unison,
Sings the sweetest hymn on earth
In the holy hour of the mystery great!
