Store Skapare, förlåt det, Se ej, gode Gud, med vrede, Att så ofta i ditt tempel Jag på honom äfven tänker! Hundra vägar har min tanke, Tusen att till honom hinna. Blott det sämsta leder bortåt, Allt det bättre för till honom. Kort från dagens ljus är vägen, Gen från nattens stjärneskara, Hvarje blomma stakar stigen, Hvarje träd är vägamärke. Men när dig min tanke hunnit, Är den nästan ren hos honom.

Suuri Luoja, anna anteeksi, Hyvä Jumala, älä anna vihasi langeta ylleni, vaikka usein temppelissäsi ajattelen sulhastanikin! Ajatuksellani on sata tietä, tuhatkin päästäkseni hänen luokseen. Vain huonoin tie johtaa poispäin, kaikki paremmat hänen luokseen. Päivänvalossa matka tuntuu lyhyeltä, niin myös yön tähtijoukkojen loisteessa, jokainen kukka viitoittaa polkua, jokainen puu on maamerkki. Mutta kun ajatukseni on päässyt luoksesi, Herra, onkin se melkein heti hänen luonaan.
