*henna: an Old World plant, prized for its fragrant yellow and white flowers. (Song of Songs 1:!4)
1 Christ will make His seeking lover
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.
2 But there still remains a shadow;
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.
3 Paradise of pomegranates,
Pleasant fruits, and henna* flowers,
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.
4 He has come into His garden,
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.
5 From the garden comes the city.
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.
6 "Thou art fair, my love, as Tirzah,
His beloved — how He loves her,
So attractive, His delight.
He is captivated wholly;
She is comely in His sight.
