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.
