lyrics

O Great Lover who pursues us, come delight to stir our hearts
Call us back with full devotion Kindle now your fire in us
Let us scent you, taste your sweetness Carry us away to thrive
Let us love you ever deeper Let us hasten to your side

Bounding o’er the hills you beckon, “Rise, my love and come away”.
Winter’s past and Spring is blooming Now has come the time to sing
Wake the winds upon this garden Waft the fragrance all around
We with joy to you belonging dance within your perfect love

Who is like our great Beloved now appearing as the dawn?
All of heav’n in grand procession praise Love’s beauty bright as the sun
Set us as a seal upon you Troubled hearts will find their rest
Yours is love to stand harsh waters, love that lives as strong as death
