"If we would thumb|We must self forgo if God we would attain, his grace must in us grow and ease us from all pain God discern, The world we must despise, His love and hate must learn, See all things with His eyes. And we must self forgo If God we would attain, His grace must in us grow And ease us from all pain. So shall we sing His praise And be at one with Him, In peace our voices raise In the celestial hymn, That with quadruple harmony And all mellifluous melody, In Heaven resounds eternally."
John Ruysbroeck
