Lyrics:

Behold and see your Lord, your God, who is your Creator and your endless joy. See your own brother; see your Savior. My child, behold and see what delight and bliss I have in your salvation, and, for my love, rejoice with me. With a kindly countenance our good Lord looked into his side, and he gazed with joy, and with his sweet regard he drew his creature's understanding into his side by the same wound: and there he revealed a fair and delectable place, large enough for all mankind that will be saved, and will rest in peace and love.
