Who is this fair one in distress, | |||
That travels from the wilderness? | |||
And pressed with sorrows and with sins, | |||
On her beloved Lord she leans. | |||
This is the spouse of Christ our God, | |||
Bought with the treasure of his blood; | |||
And her request and her complaint | |||
Is but the voice of every saint. | |||
"O let my name engraven stand | |||
{{ | Both on thy heart and on thy hand; | ||
Seal me upon thine arm, and wear | |||
That pledge of love for ever there.}} | |||

"Stronger than death thy love is known, | |||
Which floods of wrath could never drown; | |||
And hell and earth in vain combine | |||
To quench a fire so much divine. | |||
"But I am jealous of my heart, | |||
Lest it should once from thee depart; | |||
Then let thy name be well impressed | |||
As a fair signet on my breast. | |||
"Till thou hast brought me to thy home, | |||
Where fears and doubts can never come, | |||
Thy countenance let me often see, | |||
And often thou shalt hear from me.}} | |||

Over the hills where spices grow."}} | |||
