I Am My Love’s

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

I am my love’s and he is mine
and this is his desire
that with his beauty I may shine
in radiant attire
and this will be when all of me
is pruned and purged with fire

come, my beloved, let us go
forth to the waiting field
and where thy choicest fruit trees grow
thy pruning knife now wield
that at thy will and through thy skill
their richest store my yield

spices give a sweet perfume
and vines show tender shoots
and all my trees burst forth in bloom
fair buds from bitter roots
there will not I my love deny
but yield thee pleasant fruits
