Do you not know, yes do you not know
The Heavens above and the earth down below
Cannot compare to it, or cannot contain:
All of the blessings your soul has obtained
Look at the meadows and all of those fields
Beautiful flowers are some of their yields
Yet in all of this beauty: the lengths and the width
Everything is paling before you and your gifts
Do you not know, yes do you not know
The Heavens above and the earth down below
Cannot compare to it, or cannot contain:
All of the blessings your soul has obtained
The most precious of gold pieces; the silver most dear
Wains in the sight of what you hold deep in here
Nothing's more valuable and nothing of price
Can ever overshadow it, your soul's spiritual ties
Do you not know, yes do you not know
The Heavens above and the earth down below
Cannot compare to it, or cannot contain:
All of the blessings your soul has obtained
So ponder it daily: every morning and night:
How precious this treasure is: your own inner light
Nothing's ever able to; and nothing ever will be
More precious, more lovely, than your soul... can't you see?
Do you not know, yes do you not know
The Heavens above and the earth down below
Cannot compare to it, or cannot contain:
All of the blessings your soul has obtained
