O let my name engraven stand
Both on Thy heart and on Thy hand;
Seal me upon Thine arm, and wear
That pledge of love forever there.
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, hast away,
Cut short the hours of Thy delay;
Fly like a youthful hart or roe
Over the hills where spices grow.
O Let My Name Engraven Stand
