How fair thou art

Edvard Grieg

How fair thou art, yes fair, yes fair,

Most precious son of God!

Oh my Shu'lamit, Shu'lamit, yes mine, yes mine,

all that I have is also thine.

My Friend, thou art mine, yes mine, yes mine;

So let me ever be thine own!

Yes, ever sure, ever sure, yes sure, yes sure!

Thou shallt be mine own both here and hence.

But think, I am here, yes here, yes here;

among so many unsheathed swords!

Oh come then, my Dove! come Dove! Yes come, yes come!

In the cleft of the rock are calm and room.
