North Wind, arise, awaken

North Wind

arise

awaken!

South Wind

come blow on me!

Blow on my heart’s green garden;

Fill it with fragrance sweet.

North Wind

arise

awaken!

South Wind

come blow on me!

Blow on my heart’s green garden;

Fill it with fragrance sweet.

Would that my well-beloved would come!

Be with me ever

tasting of my love!

Would that my well-beloved would come!

Be with me ever

tasting of my love!

Pour on His head my spikenard

Rub with my hair His feet;

As on His throne He’s sitting

Make all His house smell sweet.

(repeat)

He is of trees the Apple;

I in His shade delight.

Ripe is His fruit and sweet

which

Strengthens and cheers my heart.

(repeat)

Thou Whom I love

come hither—

I’m Thine

and Thou art mine—

Into the fields let’s go forth

Tasting their fruits so fine.

(repeat)

Lord

as a seal

do set me

Firmly upon Thine heart.

Stronger than death His love is;

Which floods cannot drown out.

(repeat)

Whom do I have in heaven?—

None can compare with Thee.

None on the earth I’d treasure—

No one

dear Lord

but Thee.

(repeat)
