MY BELOVED IS MINE AND I AM HIS. (ECCLESIASTICS THE PREACHER
_The words of the bride, who, come to him upon his invitation.
He makes her boast of him.
He abides and refreshes himself in the mist of his trusted people,
who are compared to lilies.
Rose of Sharon I am. Growing in the valley like a lily.
Among thorns, my darling among the untapped.
My beloved among the young men
Like an apple tree. I desire to sit in his shadow
And taste his sweet fruit,/center>
Into the banquet hall the brought me
And over me his stamp card is love
With cakes he strengthens me
His right hand strokes me gently
While under my head his left hand placed
Young maidens of the land of Africa
By the deer, the hinds of the field
That you will not awaken love or
Arouse before its proper time my love.
Here he comes, his voice I hear
The mountains he climbs
Leaping on the hills
Like a deer my beloved is
Looks like a deer or a young man
Here behind our wall he stands
Through the windows gazing
Through the lattice looking.
My beloved to me he responded
And to me he said
Come with me! Get up, my true love, my beautiful one,
The winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
In the country side appears the blossom.
Lets make melodious song, arise my darling,
My beautiful one, come along
my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret places of the cliffs,
let me see your figure and hear your voice.
Your voice is sweet, and your figure is lovely."
Seize the carnivorous mammal for us,
The little mammal that spoils the vineyards
Mine is my love and his I am
Among the lilies he pastures his flock.
Before breaks the day, and flee the shadows
My love turn turned to me, and be like a deer
A male Deer, on the mountains.
Songs of Solomon 6.
JESUS LOVER OF MY SOUL
1. Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last.
2. Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenseless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
<center< 3. Thou, O Christ, art all I want,
more than all in thee I find;
raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am;
thou art full of truth and grace.
4. Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart;
rise to all eternity.
