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. Arise, my love, my fair one and come away. O! my dove, thou art in the clefts of the rock, Song of Solomon 2:10-14.

O Lord! how often has it been winter with me, but thou hast always quickened me again. Grant that by these experiences I may be so used to thy ways, as always to expect the best from thee, in every thing, and to have only this one care, namely, how I may please thee, as thy bride and dove, and be accepted through thee with thy Father. Let my faith be strengthened in such a manner by all thy various dealings with me, that at last, I may have boldness, and find rest in thy wounds, since there is room for the greatest of sinners, and even for me.

The voice of my beloved sounds,
Over the rocks and rising grounds,
Over hills of guilt, and seas of grief,
He leaps, he flies to my relief.
Gently he draws my heart along,
Both with his beauties and his tongue;
Rise, says my Lord, make haste away,
No mortal joys are worth thy stay.
The Jewish wintery state is gone,
The mists are fled, the spring comes on,
The sacred turtle-dove we hear
Proclaim the new, the joyful year.
And when we hear our Jesus say,
Rise up, my love, make haste away
Our hearts would fain out-fly the wind,
And leave all earthly love behind.
