But who, I ask you, who are you? Tell me your name, tell me anew. 3 Yield to me now, for I am weak, But confident, in self-despair; Speak to my heart, in blessings speak; Be conquered by my instant prayer. Speak or you never more shall move, And tell me if your name is Love. 4 O Love! O Love, you died for me; I hear your whisper in my soul; The morning breaks, the shadows flee, Pure universal Love made whole. To me, to all, your mercies move; Your nature and your name is Love.
