Lo fair thou art, lo fair my Love!
Hymnal: The Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithfully translated into English Metre #SIV (1773) Hymnal Title: The Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithfully translated into English Metre Lyrics: [Christ]
1 Lo fair thou art,lo fair my Love!
doves-eyes in thy locks are;
Thy hair as flocks of goats that on
mount Gilead high appear.
2 Thy teeth are like the whit'ned flock,
which from the washing rose,
New shorn, and ev'ry one bear twins,
and none without them goes.
3 Thy lips are like a scarlet thread,
whence graceful accents flow:
Within thy locks, thy temples like
pomgranates in their blow.
4 Thy neck like to David's tow'r appears
built for an magazine;
Wherein a thousand bucklers hang,
all shields of mighty men.
5 Thy two fair breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a roe, who feed
Among the lillies of the vale;
but thine in charms exceed.
6 Till morning's fragrant breath shall rise,
and all the shades fly hence.
I'll get me to the mount of myrrh,
and hill of frankincense.
7 All fair thou art, my lovely one,
there is no spot in thee!
8 My spouse, O come from Lebanon,
from Lebanon with Me!
Look from the top of Amana,
from Shenir's summit high
From Hermon's top; from lions dens,
from leopard's mountains fly.
9 My sister, spouse! thou hast my heart
quite ravished from Me,
With one of thy chaste eyes, with one
chain of thy neck I see
10 How fair thy loves my sister, spouse,
how far they wine excel!
How far above all spices is
thy od'rous ointments smell!
11 Thy lips drop like the honey-comb:
my spouse, beneath thy tongue
Honey and milk: thy cloaths perfume
like scents from Lebanon.
12 My sister, spouse, a gardne is,
fenc'd for security;
And as a precious spring enclos'd,
a fountain seal'd for Me.
13 Thy cions, of pomgranates, are
the sprouts of paradise,
With all the most delicious fruits,
camphire and spikenard choice.
14 Where calamus and cinnamon,
with saffron, spikenard too,
All incense-trees, aloes and mirrh,
with all chief spices grow.
15 A fountain there, of gardens is
in thee, and springs that run,
Yea living springs that send their streams
all round from Lebanon
[The Church]
16 Awake, O north wind, come thou south,
and on my garden blow;
That all the spice and odours there
may forth abundant flow:
And then let my beloved one
into his garden come,
Partake of his delicious fruit,
and of his choice perfume. Scripture: Song of Solomon 4 Languages: English
Lo fair thou art, lo fair my Love!
Lo fair thou art, lo fair my Love!

Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #309 (1742) Hymnal Title: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament First Line: Lo fair thou art my love Lyrics: 1 Lo fair thou art, my love, lo fair,
Dove's eyes in thy locks are:
Thy hair as flocks of goats that from
Mount Gilead do appear.
2 Thy teeth are as a smooth shorn flock,
Which from the washing come,
Where ev'ry one of them bears twins,
Of them there's barren none,
3 Thy lips are as a scarlet twine,
Thy speech doth comely pour;
Within thy locks thy temples like
A pomgranate in flower.
4 Thy neck is like to David's tow'r,
Built for an armoury.
Where hang a thousand shields, all shields
Of men of potency.
5 Thy breasts they twain compared are
To roes a double young:
The which are twins, and have their feed
The lilly flow'rs among,
6 Until the time the day shall break,
And till the shades fly hence.
I'll get me to the mount of myrrh,
And hill of frankincense.
7 All fair thou art, my lovely one,
There is no spot in thee.
8 My spouse with me from Leb'non come
From Lebanon with me:
Look from the top of Amana;
From Shenir's top also,
From Hermon's, from the lions dens.
The leopard's mountains fro.
9 My sister spouse thou ravishest
My heart; thou dost affect
My heart with that one eye of thine,
With one chain of thy neck.
10 How fair thy love my sister spouse?
How better far thy love
Than wine! and thine anointment's smell
All spices far above.
11 My spouse thy lips drop honey-comb,
Honey under thy tongue
And milk, and thy cloaths smell is like
The smell of Lebanon.
12 My sister my espoused one
A garden closely shut:
A well spring closed up is she
A fountain sealed up.
13 Thy cyons of pomegranates are
Like to a paradise,
With pleasant fruits replenished,
Camphire, spikenard likewise.
14 Where spikenard, saffron, calamus,
With cinnamon also,
All incense trees, myrrh, aloes,
With all chief spices grow.
15 The garden's fount, live water spring
And streams from Lebanon.
16 Wake, O north wind, and come thou south,
My garden blow upon.
Its spices that they may flow out:
His garden come into
Let my beloved one, and eat
His pleasant fruit also.
