1. Christ will make His seeking lover
  Pillar, couch, and palanquin,
  E'en a crown, His boast and glory;
  He will do it all! Amen!
(Chorus:)
  His beloved��how He loves her,
  So attractive, His delight.
  He is captivated wholly;
  She is comely in His sight.
2. But there still remains a shadow;
  Christ is still not satisfied.
  He must have a growing garden
  To become His loving Bride!
3. Paradise of pomegranates,
  Pleasant fruits, and henna flowers,
  Spikenard, saffron, myrrh, and aloes:
  His enjoyment now��not ours.
(Chorus:)
  His beloved��how He loves her,
  So attractive, His delight.
  He is captivated wholly;
  She is comely in His sight.
4. He has come into His garden,
  Gathered myrrh and spices there,
  Eaten honeycomb and honey;
  Wine and milk He'll drink fore'er.
5. From the garden comes the city.
  All materials thus supplied;
  God is satisfied completely,
  And the foe is terrified.
(Chorus:)
  His beloved��how He loves her,
  So attractive, His delight.
  He is captivated wholly;
  She is comely in His sight.
6. "Thou art fair, my love, as Tirzah,
  Comely as Jerusalem."
  O Lord Jesus, Hallelujah,
  Thou wilt do it all! Amen!
