1. Oh, what joy fills the mind and makes it soar
The heart takes flight, filled with longing and delight

2. When the maiden came to visit, seeking
To fulfill her wish through intimate discourse

3. She filled her home with scent and light
With joy and rapture, then tranquility

4. It was as though this place became God's throne
And the maiden found her dwelling in this throne

5. Zechariah, rejoice, for the finest messenger
Since I have seen God sheltered with you
