If God should say to me, Behold!—
Yea, who shall doubt?—
They who love others more than me,
Shall I not turn, as oft of old,
My face from them and cast them out?
So let it be with thee, behold!—
I should not care, for in your face
Is all God's grace.

If God should say to me, Behold!—
Is it not well?—
They who have other gods than me,
Shall I not bid them, as of old,
Depart into the outer Hell?
So let it be with thee, behold!—
I should not care, for in your eyes
Is Paradise.
