How Lovely, How Nimble

Music by Doug Howell, lyrics by Hannah Hurnard (based on The Song of Solomon)

how lovely, how nimble, are thy feet
O prince’s daughter
they sparkle and flash and can run more fleet
than running water
on all the mountains there is no gazelle
no roe or hind
can o’ertake thee nor leap as well
but lag behind

thy joints and thighs are a supple band
on which are met
fair jewels a cunning master hand
hath fitly set
in all the palace, search where’er you please
in every place
none walks with such a queenly ease
or with such grace
