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.
