¶Liedtext

My beloved haste away, Sick of love for thee I languish, Fails my Soul at thy delay, Feels a dying lover's anguish. Quickly, Jesus come, O make thy breast thy native home. Every Moment seems an Age, 'Till Thy presence shall relieve me, 'Till Thy smiles my woes assuage, And Thine absence no more grieve me: Quickly, &c. Great the force and power of love, Whence springs all my strong desires; I, Thy presence, Lord, to prove, Burn, consumed, with inward fires: Quickly, &c. Honor, wealth, and ease I scorn, Trifles, by the world approved, To superior joys I'm born, Centering in my Well-beloved: Quickly, &c. O'er the spicy mountains fly Hart and roe, yea winds out-stripping; Whilst thou tarry, Love, I die, Sighing, longing, loving, weeping ; Quickly, quickly, Jesus come, Make my breast Thy native home.
