23 A Song of Solomon

Refrain:

AllMany waters cannot quench love;
neither can the floods drown it.

1Set me as a seal upon your heart, ♦
as a seal upon your arm;

2For love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave; ♦
its flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame.

3Many waters cannot quench love, ♦
neither can the floods drown it.

4If all the wealth of our house were offered for love, ♦
it would be utterly scorned.

cf Song of Solomon 8.6, 7

AllGlory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.

AllMany waters cannot quench love;
neither can the floods drown it.
