The happy in Jesus may sleep,
But Oh, till in me he appears.
Be this my employment, to weep,
And water my couch with my tears-
Ye watchmen of Israel, declare.
If ye my Beloved have seen,
And point to that heavenly fair.
Surpassing the children of men:
My Lover and Lord from above,
Who only can quiet my pain,
Whom only I languish to love,
Oh, where shall I find him again?
Once more if he show me his face,
He never again shall depnrt.
Detained in my closest embrace.
Eternally held in my heart.
