Rise Up, My Love

 

by Jettie Hess

 

 

I would, I would if it might be
Rise early and hasten unto Thee
Out of a land where distressing pathways
Obstruct the essence of integrity.

 

Rise up, rise up my perfect love
Seek out Thy maiden so fair
Embrace her with Thy loving kindness
That she might know you are always there.
