Effortlessly Love Flows (No. 1 from Ecstatic Meditations)
Text: Mechthild of Magdeburg

Effortlessly, Love flows from God into Man,
like a bird who rivers the air without spreading her wings.
Thus we move in His world,
One in body and soul.
As the Source strikes the note Humanity sings.
Effortless, effortlessly.

The Holy Spirit is our harpist,
and all strings which are touched in Love must sound.
Effortlessly love flows from God into Man. Effortlessly.
