Christ will make His seeking lover
Pillar, couch, and palanquin,
E'en a crown, His boast and glory;
He will do it all! Amen!
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.

But there still remains a shadow;
Christ is still not satisfied.
He must have a growing garden
To become His loving Bride!
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.

Paradise of pomegranates,
Pleasant fruits, and henna flowers,
Spikenard, saffron, myrrh, and aloes:
His enjoyment now — not ours.
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.

He has come into His garden,
Gathered myrrh and spices there,
Eaten honeycomb and honey;
Wine and milk He'll drink fore'er.
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.

From the garden comes the city.
All materials thus supplied;
God is satisfied completely,
And the foe is terrified.
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.

"Thou art fair, my love, as Tirzah,
Comely as Jerusalem."
O Lord Jesus, Hallelujah,
Thou wilt do it all! Amen!
His beloved-how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.
