1. If my service falters,
My prayers do not falter.

2. And the brother of absence with yearning
May increase in love.

3. So overlook the stumbling of a servant
Who repents if he commits a sin.

4. He is the first who calls out
The dew of the Master and obeys.

5. He drank from your reproach out of love,
Even if he was reproached as a youth.
