by Guido (Pieter Theodoor Jozef) Gezelle (1830 - 1899)

O mocht ik
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
  O mocht ik
  o mocht ik
voor 't heilig Tabernakel staan,
  o mocht ik
  o mocht ik
darr brandend als een keerse staan,
  o mocht ik
  o mocht ik
ontsteken daar en uitgegaan,
  o mocht ik
  o mocht ik
naar Hem en in den hemel gaan!
