[instrumental]
[verse 1]
If thy soul check thee,
That I come so near,
Swear to thy blind soul,
That I was thy Will.
And will, thy soul knows,
Is admitted there.
Thus far for love,
My love-suit, sweet, fulfil.
[chorus]
Make but my name thy love,
And love that still,
And then thou lovest me,
For my name is ‘Will.’
Make but my name thy love,
And love that still,
And then thou lovest me,
For my name is ‘Will.’
[verse 2]
[female voice]
Will, will fulfil,
The treasure of thy love!
Aye, fill it full with wills,
And my will one!
In things of great receipt,
With ease we prove.
Among a number,
One is reckoned none!
[chorus]
Make but thy name my love,
And love that still,
And then I will love thee,
For thy name is ‘Will.’
Make but thy name my love,
And love that still,
And then I will love thee,
For thy name is ‘Will.’
[verse 3]
[all together]
Then in the number,
Let me pass untold,
Though in thy store’s account,
I one must be.
For nothing hold me,
So it please thee hold
That nothing me,
A something sweet to thee.
[chorus]
[male voice]
Make but my name thy love,
And love that still,
And then thou lovest me,
For my name is ‘Will.’
[female voice]
Make but thy name thy love,
And love that still,
And then I will love you,
For thy name is ‘Will.’
[male voice]
Yes, my name is 'Will.'
