I will give you news of your condition
And I will do that with two small letters
In love of you I shall sink beneath the earth
By your love my head will rise from the earth
Payne 1898 - 260
Proclamation anent thee to make I am fain,
The purport whereof I'll abridge in words twain:
My head in the dust for thy love I will lay
And thy kindness shall cause me uplift it again.
Thompson 1906 - 277
My attitude toward Thee I would make plain,
And that I will abridge in verses twain:
"For love of Thee in dust I 'll lay my head,
That with Thy love I may arise again."
Whinfield 1883 - 230
My true condition I may thus explain
In two short verses which the whole contain:
"From love to Thee I now lay down my life,
In hope Thy love will raise me up again."
