The sparrow finds her home with you, God;
the swallow builds a nest there, too.
Great signs and omens may lead us astray;
by humble submission we find you--
or, better said--we permit you to find us.
You are always with us; you never
fail or forsake us, if humbly we open to you.

Then if anyone
says to you, 'Look! Here is the Messiah!' or 'There he is!' --do not believe
