*henna: an Old World plant, prized for its fragrant yellow and white flowers. (Song of Songs 1:14)
1 Lord Jesus Christ, our heart feels sweet
Lord, like the pretty henna*-flower,
In vineyards blossoming Thou art;
Incomp'rable Thy beauty is,
Admires and loves our heart!
2 There is no music adequate
Lord, like the pretty henna*-flower,
In vineyards blossoming Thou art;
Incomp'rable Thy beauty is,
Admires and loves our heart!
3 Yet, what delights our heart the most
Lord, like the pretty henna*-flower,
In vineyards blossoming Thou art;
Incomp'rable Thy beauty is,
Admires and loves our heart!
4 Oh, Thou art fairer than the fair,
Lord, like the pretty henna*-flower,
In vineyards blossoming Thou art;
Incomp'rable Thy beauty is,
Admires and loves our heart!
