118. I know and I know not

I love the world;
I know not why and how.
The world loves me;
I know not why and how.

I love my Lord;
Oh, I know why and how.
My Lord loves me;
Oh, I know why and how.

Two strangers, the world and I.
O world, where are we, where?
Two friends, my Lord and I.
Here we are, eternally here.
