Song of Solomon 1:3: Sweet is the odour of Thy grace

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Sweet is the odour of Thy grace;
Thy name pour'd forth fills all the place
With heavenly fragrancy:
Thy precious name the virgins love,
DraAvn by that unction from above,
They run, they cleave to Thee.

Thy people saved are virgins wise,
They see Thy face with ravish'd eyes,
When faith hath purged their heart;
Cleansed by the water and the word
Thy saints from their beloved Lord
Nor life nor death shall part.
