I wish, I wish
To see afar
Way beyond the northern star
To glimpse of wonders
Not made by chance
Or us, mankind, somehow in advance
But by He who holds us in his arms
Loving, loving, warding off harm
So may I not, or if I may
See the wonders of today
I faithfully remain
Where I stand
Forever held by His own hand
No wish, no wish
One can make
Could take me to a happier place

I wish, I wish
To see afar
Way beyond the northern star
To glimpse of wonders
Not made by chance
Or us, mankind, somehow in advance
But by He who holds us in his arms
Loving, loving, warding off harm
So may I not, or if I may
See the wonders of today
I faithfully remain
Where I stand
Forever held by His own hand
No wish, no wish
One can make
Could take me to a happier place
