As a virgin have I been betrothed to You;
How can I still choose to be tainted by this world?
Purchased with precious blood, I belong to You.
No longer my own, I am fully Yours.

These last days, there is much You desire to do,
But first You need some faithful ones to intercede.
Just to those who have ceased seeking their own things
You would nothing hide but would freely speak.

No more days can I waste if I want to hear
