Who is this fair one in distress
That travels from the wilderness
And pressed with sorrows and with sins
On her beloved Lord she leans?
This is the spouse of Christ our God
Brought with her treasures of his blood
And her request and her complaint
Is but the voice of every saint
Oh! let my name engraven stand
Both on thy heart and on thy hand
Seal me upon thine arm and wear
That pledge of love forever fair
Stronger than death thy love is known
Which floods of wrath could never drown
And hell and earth in vain combine
To quench a fire so much divine
But I am jealous of my heart
Lest it should once from thee depart
Then let my name be well imprest
As a fair signet on thy breast
Till thou hast brought me to thy home
Where fears and doubts can never come
Thy countenance let me often see
And often shall thou hear from me
Then my beloved haste away
But short the hours of thy delay
Fly like a youthful hart or roe
Over the hills where spices blow
