[Ye daughters of Sion, declare]

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, &c. —v. 8.

Ye daughters of Sion, declare
(When ye my Beloved have found)
My burden of sorrow and care,
My painful, incurable wound!

366

Ah, tell Him, it cannot be heal'd,
Till Jesus appear from above;
I faint for His mercy reveal'd,
I die for a taste of His love!
