Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, And come away, for behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. Flow’rs appear on the earth, The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtle dove Is heard in our land. My beloved is mine, And I am His, He who feeds His flocks among the lilies. ’Til the day breaks, And the shadows flee away, Come my beloved, Come my beloved! Rise up, my love, my beautiful one And come away, for behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.
As we sang this out on the streets and passed out Bibles, the rain left and the sun came out…
“You will no longer have the sun for your light by day, / Nor for brightness will the moon give you light; / But Jehovah will be an eternal light to you, / And your God your beauty. ” Isaiah 60:19
