The Song of Songs

Lyrics

Lyrics by Hannah Hurnard,
based on The Song of Solomon

the song of songs, the loveliest song
the song of Love, the King
no joy on earth compares with his
but seems a broken thing
his name as ointment is poured forth
and all his lovers sing

draw me, I will run after thee
thou art my heart's one choice
O bring me to thy royal house
to dwell there and rejoice
there in thy presence, O my King,
to feast and hear thy voice

look not upon me with contempt
though soiled and marred I be
the King found me, an outcast thing,
and set his love on me
and I shall be perfected by love
made fair as day to see
