|  | 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! | 
|  |  | 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. | 
|  | 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. | 
|  | 6. | "Thou art fair, my love, as Tirzah, | 
|  |  | Comely as Jerusalem." | 
|  |  | O Lord Jesus, Hallelujah, | 
|  |  | Thou wilt do it all! Amen! |
