Oh how my soul is longing and yearning is pining for your courts. Christ has no body now but yours no feet no hands on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world. You are his feet you are his hands You are his eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Christ has no body now but yours. Christ has no body on Earth but yours. How happy are they who dwell in your temple forever singing your name. How happy the pilgrims who find their strength in you whose hearts are eager for the road to Zion.

Oh cuánto anhela y desea mi alma habitar en vuestro palacio. Cristo no tiene cuerpo más que el vuestro ni pies ni manos en la tierra salvo los vuestros. Vuestros son los ojos a través de los cuales observa el mundo con compasión. Vuestros son los pies con los cuales camina para hacer el bien. Vuestras son las manos con las que bendice el mundo. Vos sois sus pies vos sois sus manos Vos sois sus ojos a través de los cuales observa el mundo con compasión. Cristo no tiene cuerpo más que el vuestro. Cristo no tiene cuerpo en la Tierra más que el vuestro. Felices los que habitan en vuestro templo cantando eternamente vuestro nombre. Felices los peregrinos que en vos encuentran su fortaleza cuyos corazones ansían encontrar el camino a Sion.
