Oh let my name engraven stand,
My Jesus on Thy heart and hand:
Seal me upon Thine arm, and wear
That pledge of love forever there.
Come, my beloved, haste away,
Cut short the hours of Thy delay.
Stronger than death,
Thy love is known,
Which floods of wrath
could never drown;
And hell and earth in vain combine
To quench a fire so much divine.
Come, my beloved, haste away,
Cut short the hours of Thy delay.
But I am jealous of my heart,
Lest it should once from Thee depart;
Then let Thy name be well impress'd
As a fair signet on my breast.
Come, my beloved, haste away,
Cut short the hours of Thy delay.
O, may my spirit daily rise
On wings of faith above the skies
'Till death shall make my last remove
To dwell forever with my Love.
Come, my beloved, haste away,
Cut short the hours of Thy delay.
