Kissed with the kisses of Your mouth, so intimate and sweet

Kissed with the kisses of Your mouth, so intimate and sweet Your love has drawn, Your name has charmed, You've captivated me No other love can cheer me so, no other name as ointment flows. Heart's deepest cry, You satisfy, I pursue.

Here in the inner chambers, Lord, the Holiest within With mingled spirit, I enjoy the Spirit consummate Though I am black from Adam's sin, now I am lovely I'm in Him For food and rest, follow the steps of the flock.

As by the Spirit I'm transformed, I'm transferred and renewed, A self-reliant mare becomes a lily so subdued Plaited with gold, with silver studs, necklace of jewels - the Triune God Perfected by, Joints of supply, for your plan!

Here in the church the table's spread; the Triune God's my feast! My spikenard's fragrance over all to Christ has been released. Apple tree, shade and raisin cakes, banner of love and sweet embrace. Mutual rest, and mutual peace — satisfied!

Now from my introspective self, You're calling me away You are my resurrection pow'r, upon the cross to stay Spring has begun, the winter's past, heaven and earth are joined at last You're our gazelle, we're your Bethel, God and man!
