Hebt lief die hier int aertsche dal
Ghecomen is om uwen t’willen,
En heeft voldaen voor Adams val,
En Godts gramschap connen stillen:
In t’lichaem van een Maghet reyn
Met ons sijn liefd’ hy heeft ghebonden,
Wy werden groot, en hy wert cleyn,
Wie sal de liefde Godts doorgronden?

Aimons celui qui voulut naistre
Tant seulement pour nous cherir,
Aimons qui dans ce val terrestre
(Pour nous aymer) voulut mourir.
Aimons, aimons, donc par echange,
Celui qui pour nous tant voulut,
Et embrassons tous sa louange,
Comme luy faict nostre salut.

God
gaf zich voor u, geeft u zich aan God. |
God [gave] himself to you, [give] you yourself to God. |
Zie
in dat het al van Hem is, door wiens hemel u bedekt wordt, in de schoot van
wiens aarde u wordt omvat, enzovoorts, en die, na zoveel, zichzelf voor u heeft
gegeven. |
You have to understand that the universe is His, by Whose heaven you are covered, in the bosom of Whose earth you are contained
[...], who after so much gave Himself to you. |
Welnu,
omdat God zich aan u geeft, moet u zich aan God geven dan zullen jullie elkaar
belonen. |
