Verse 1

D                                                       E

Many nights upon your bed you’ve sought me while you’ve slumbered

G                                    D    A

You’ve sought me, but found me not

D                                            E

But Lo the nights far spent and soon the dawn is coming

G                                                 D       A

Behold I stand at your door and knock

Chorus

Dsus4      D                                       Csus2

Arise my love, my undefiled, oh my holy one

D                                                                              Csus2

For the winters gone, behold the time of the spring song has come

Gmajor                                                     D                   A

I’ve loosed the latch upon thy door, arise my love, come to me

Verse 2

Dsus4 D                                                  Csus2

It seems for an eternity, I’ve longed to have you by my side my love

D                                                                                          Csus2

But the day has come, behold your putting your wedding garments on

Gmajor                                                           D                  A

Arise come away with Me my love, come to Me, come to Me

Chorus

Dsus4      D                                       Csus2

Arise my love, my undefiled, oh my holy one

D                                                                              Csus2

For the winters gone behold the time of the spring song has come

Gmajor                                                     D                   A

I’ve loosed the latch upon thy door, arise my love, come to me

Verse 3

Dsus4      D                                            Csus2

Be brave my love, fear not the faces of the ones you’ll meet

For I know thy works, behold I set before thee an open door

Gmajor                                                    D                   A

That I might show my love to world through you, through you

Chorus

Arise my love, my undefiled oh my holy one

For the winters gone, behold the time of the spring song has come

I’ve loosed the latch upon thy door, arise my love come to me
