Description

A beautiful and lush setting for SATB and organ of Song of Solomon 2:3-4. Although the verses don't appear in the lectionary, this anthem could easily work on the lectionary days when Solomon 2:8-13 are read. (Arise my love, my fair one, and come away.) Would also be just right for any Advent/communion/eucharistic service. Your choir will love it.

Lyrics

I sat down under His shadow with great delight and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banqueting house and His banner over me was love.
