The Song of Songs

1. The Song of Songs now let me sing
    With love and praise to Thee, my King;
Redeemer, Jesus, Lord divine,
    Your love for me is more than wine.
Your promises like kisses sweet
    Sustain my life, they are my meat;
Sweeter than honey from the comb,
    I taste, and long for heav’n my home.

2. Draw me my Lord, I come to Thee;
    Tho’ so unworthy, let me see
Where I may serve and feed your flock,
    Labor with You, who are my Rock.
Strength you will give and grace each day,
    To follow You in Your good way;
My Shepherd, Prophet, Priest and King,
    My heart is Yours, of You I sing!

– poetic paraphrase of Song of Solomon, chapter 1
