My Lord Supreme,"Give me, give me, give me":
This is a very old song.
Long, long ago, I taught that song
To myself,
And I have been singing that song
Tirelessly.
But now I want to learn a new song:
"Accept me, accept me, accept me."
This song is Yours.
Do teach me, most perfectly, my new song:
"Accept me, my Lord, accept me!"
