The voice of my Beloved,
|
|
| 1. | The voice of my Beloved, |
| | Behold, He quickly comes; |
| | He leaps upon the mountains, |
| | And o'er the hills He runs. |
| | The signs of His appearing |
| | Are seen on every side; |
| | The Bridegroom soon is coming |
| | To claim His loving Bride. |
| 2. | How real that He is coming- |
| | Come quickly, Lord, again! |
| | We watch for His appearing, |
| | His precious Word amen. |
| | Oh, don't delay His coming, |
| | Pray without ceasing, pray; |
| | He's eagerly awaiting |
| | That coming wedding day. |
| 3. | He longs to hear our voices, |
| | He longs to see our face- |
| | Our voices filled with sweetness, |
| | Our countenance with grace. |
| | "Arise, My love, My fair one," |
| | We long to hear Him say. |
| | The voice of our Beloved- |
| | "Arise and come away!" |
| 4. | The winter rain is over, |
| | The flowers appear on earth; |
| | The rising sun of Jesus |
| | Fills all our hearts with mirth. |
| | It is the time of singing, |
| | The turtle dove is heard; |
| | For our Beloved's coming |
| | The sweetest chords are stirred. |
| 5. | Oh, let us take the foxes |
| | That spoil the blooming vine; |
| | Our vineyards are in blossom, |
| | And all, Beloved, is Thine. |
| | The day is quickly drawing, |
| | The shadows flee away; |
| | Upon the mount of spices |
| | Our Lord may come today. |
