| The voice of my Beloved,

|  | 
|  | 1. | The voice of my Beloved, | 
|  |  | Behold, He quickly comes; | 
|  |  | He leaps upon the mountains, | 
|  |  | And o'er the hills He runs. | 
|  |  | The signs of His appearing | 
|  |  | Are seen on every side; | 
|  |  | The Bridegroom soon is coming | 
|  |  | To claim His loving Bride. | 
|  | 2. | How real that He is coming- | 
|  |  | Come quickly, Lord, again! | 
|  |  | We watch for His appearing, | 
|  |  | His precious Word amen. | 
|  |  | Oh, don't delay His coming, | 
|  |  | Pray without ceasing, pray; | 
|  |  | He's eagerly awaiting | 
|  |  | That coming wedding day. | 
|  | 3. | He longs to hear our voices, | 
|  |  | He longs to see our face- | 
|  |  | Our voices filled with sweetness, | 
|  |  | Our countenance with grace. | 
|  |  | "Arise, My love, My fair one," | 
|  |  | We long to hear Him say. | 
|  |  | The voice of our Beloved- | 
|  |  | "Arise and come away!" | 
|  | 4. | The winter rain is over, | 
|  |  | The flowers appear on earth; | 
|  |  | The rising sun of Jesus | 
|  |  | Fills all our hearts with mirth. | 
|  |  | It is the time of singing, | 
|  |  | The turtle dove is heard; | 
|  |  | For our Beloved's coming | 
|  |  | The sweetest chords are stirred. | 
|  | 5. | Oh, let us take the foxes | 
|  |  | That spoil the blooming vine; | 
|  |  | Our vineyards are in blossom, | 
|  |  | And all, Beloved, is Thine. | 
|  |  | The day is quickly drawing, | 
|  |  | The shadows flee away; | 
|  |  | Upon the mount of spices | 
|  |  | Our Lord may come today. |
