Hymn 69

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:8-13 First Line: The voice of my Beloved sounds Lyrics: The voice of my Beloved sounds Over the rocks and rising grounds; O'er hills of guilt and seas of grief He leaps, he flies to my relief. Now through the veil of flesh I see With eyes of love he looks at me; Now in the gospel's clearest glass He shows the beauties of his face. Gently he draws my heart along, Both with his beauties and his tongue; "Rise," saith my Lord, "make haste away, No mortal joys are worth thy stay. "The Jewish wintry state is gone, The mists are fled, the spring comes on; The sacred turtle-dove we hear Proclaim the new, the joyful year. "Th' immortal vine of heav'nly root Blossoms, and buds, and gives her fruit:" Lo! we are come to taste the wine; Our souls rejoice, and bless the vine. And when we hear our Jesus say, "Rise up, my love, make haste away!" Our hearts would fain outfly the wind, And leave all earthly loves behind.

I with great joy sat in his shade, His fruit I sweet did taste. 4 He brought me to his house of wine, His love flag o'er me cast. 5 With flaggons stay, with apples me Chear up, for love-sick I 6 Under my head his left hand doth, His right above me ly. 7 O daughters of Jerusalem My love wake not nor raise; By roes and hinds of fields I you Do charge, until he please 8 The voice of my beloved one Upon the mountain's; lo He cometh leaping on the hills, He skipping comes also. 9 As roes or fawns of hinds my love Behold he stands and views Behind our wall, the windows through? Himself through lattess shews. 10 My well-beloved he did speak, And unto me did say, Arise, my love, my comely one, Come thou also away. 11 For lo the winter passed is, The rain is over gone. 12 The flow'rs appear upon the earth Birds singing time is come: And of the turtle dove the voice Is heard our land within 13 The fig-tree causeth forth to spring Her figs that yet are green. The vines also with tender grape Do give good smell, I say Arise, my love, my comely one, And do thou come away. 14 My dove in clefts of rocks close stairs, Thy voice O let me hear. And see thy face; for sweet's thy voice, Thy face is also fair. 15 Take up the foxes, take for us The little foxes here. That spoil the vines; because our vines, Most tender grapes do bear. 16 My well beloved one is mine, And I am also his; Among the lilly flow'rs also His pleasant feeding is. 17 Until day-break and shades fly hence Turn my beloved one, And like a roe or young hart be The Bether mountains on.
