The Song of the Bride.

2.

AH! my sweet Pearl, my precious Crown,
God and the humble Marys Son,
Heaven's King, and Earths Low-bowing.
My Heart calls thee its Lily true:
But thou art Rose and Lily too;
With Milk and Honey flowing.
Sweet Flood!
Rich Food!
Hosanna, this [Sing Hosanna]
True Manna is; [Heav'nly Manna]
Angels Feasting
Its Savour with us Resting.

3.

Thou Ruby fair, Bright Jasper Stone,
Deeply into my Heart pour down,
Thy burning Streams Anointed.
Thy Golden Sea, in Love's full Tide;
While I in full swoln Joys abide
Thy Spousal Rib fast joynted.
Heav'ns Rose,
Gracious,
I'm Sick and cry, [I am crying]
Heart wounded lie. [wounded lying]
Poor and lonely,
I can be help'd by Thee only


    Or [Whose out-streaming Beauty beaming.]

    What is here, and afterward (in this Song) included in Brackets, is accommodated to another way of Singing this Passage us'd among the Germans,
