<poem> | |||
My beloved haste away, | |||
Sick of love for thee I languish, | |||
Fails my Soul at thy delay, | |||
Feels a dying lover's anguish. | |||
Quickly, Jesus come, | |||
O make thy breast thy native home. | |||
Every Moment seems an Age, | |||
'Till Thy presence shall relieve me, | |||
'Till Thy smiles my woes assuage, | |||
And Thine absence no more grieve me: | |||
Quickly, &c. | |||
Great the force and power of love, | |||
Whence springs all my strong desires; | |||
I, Thy presence, Lord, to prove, | |||
Burn, consumed, with inward fires: | |||
Quickly, | Quickly, &c. | ||
Honor, wealth, and ease I scorn, | |||
Trifles, by the world approved, | |||
To superior joys I'm born, | |||
Centering in my Well-beloved: | |||
Quickly, &c. | |||
O'er the spicy mountains fly | |||
Hart and roe, yea winds out-stripping; | |||
Whilst thou tarry, Love, I die, | |||
Sighing, longing, loving, weeping ; | |||
Quickly, quickly, Jesus come, | |||
Make my breast Thy native home. | |||

English text
My beloved haste away,
Sick of love for thee I languish,
Fails my Soul at thy delay,
Feels a dying lover's anguish.
Quickly, Jesus come,
O make thy breast thy native home.
Every Moment seems an Age,
'Till Thy presence shall relieve me,
'Till Thy smiles my woes assuage,
And Thine absence no more grieve me:
Quickly, &c.
Great the force and power of love,
Whence springs all my strong desires;
I, Thy presence, Lord, to prove,
Burn, consumed, with inward fires:
Quickly, &c.
Honor, wealth, and ease I scorn,
Trifles, by the world approved,
To superior joys I'm born,
Centering in my Well-beloved:
Quickly, &c.
O'er the spicy mountains fly
Hart and roe, yea winds out-stripping;
Whilst thou tarry, Love, I die,
Sighing, longing, loving, weeping ;
Quickly, quickly, Jesus come,
Make my breast Thy native home.
