Texts
My Beloved Spake
Words: Song Of Solomon 2:10-13
Music: Paul Halley (1952 - )
My beloved spake, and said unto me,
Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing of birds is come,
and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.
