Behold the rose of Sharon here, | |||
The Lily which the valleys bear; | |||
Behold the Tree of Life, that gives | |||
Refreshing fruit and healing leaves. | |||
Amongst the thorns so lilies shine; | |||
Amongst wild gourds the noble vine; | |||
So in mine eyes my Savior proves, | |||
Amidst a thousand meaner loves. | |||
Beneath his cooling shade I sat, | |||
To shield me from the burning heat; | |||
Of heavenly fruit he spreads a feast, | |||
To feed mine eyes and please my taste. | |||
Kindly he brought me to the place | |||
Where stands the banquet of his grace; | |||
He saw me faint, and o'er my head | |||
The banner of his love he spread. | |||
With living bread and generous wine, | |||
He cheers this sinking heart of mine; | |||
And opening his own heart to me, | |||
He shows his thoughts how kind they be. | |||
O never let my Lord depart; | |||
Lie down, and rest upon my heart; | |||
I charge my sins not once to move, | |||
Nor stir, nor wake, nor grieve my Love.}} | |||
