On my bed night after night
I sought Him whom my soul loves.
I sought Him
but I found Him not
I found Him not...
I will rise now and go
About in the city
In the streets and in the squares.
I will seek Him whom my soul loves.
I sought Him
but found Him not.
The watchmen who go
About in the city found me
Have you seen Him
Whom my soul loves?
Scarcely had I passed them
When I found Him
Whom my soul loves
My soul loves!
I found Him whom my soul loves!
I held Him and would not let go.
Until I had brought Him
Into my mother’s house
Into the chamber
Of her who conceived me
My mother is grace
And I am a sinner saved by grace
Saved by grace.
I found Him
I found Him whom my soul loves
I held Him
I found Him.
I found Him.
My soul loves You
my Lord
my Lord.
