Music by Doug Howell, lyrics by Hannah Hurnard (based on The Song of Solomon)
I am the Rose of Sharon
a wild anemone
as lily ‘mong the thorn trees
so is my love to me
an apple tree ‘mong wild trees
my love is in my sight
I sit down in his shadow
his fruit is my delight
he brought me to his palace
and to the banquet hall
to share with me his greatness
I who am least of all
oh, give me help and comfort
for I am sick with shame
unfit to be his consort
unfit to bear his name
I charge you, oh, ye daughters
ye roes among the trees
stir not my sleeping loved one
to love me e’er he please
