Arise, My Love (Song of Solomon)
by Micheal Card
 
   
  Arise, my love, my lovely one come,
The winter is past and the rains are gone,
The flowers appear, it's the season of song,
My beautiful one, arise and come with me.

Who is it that appears like the dawn?
As fair as the moon, as bright as the sun,
Show me your face, let me hear your voice,
My beautiful one, arise and come with me.

Chorus
Set me like a seal on your heart,
For love is unyielding as the grave,
The flash of it is a jealous fire,
No flood can quench,
For love is as strong as death.

Instrumental (for the Bride's entrance)

Chorus

Bridge
Do not arouse or awaken love,
Until it so desires.

Arise, my love and come with me,
Before the dawn breaks and the shadows flee,
You ravished my heart with just one glance,
My beautiful one, arise and come with me.
I am my love's, my beloved's mine,
Arise and come with me.
