S.M.D.Ref.

O DAUGHTER take good heed,

Incline, and give good ear;

Thou must forget thy kindred all,

And father’s house most dear.

Thy beauty to the King,

Shall then delightful be:

And do thou humbly worship Him,

Because thy Lord is He.

With gladness and with joy,

Thou all of them shalt bring,

And they together enter shall

The palace of the King,

The palace of the King,

The palace of the King,

And they together enter shall,

The palace of the King,

2

The daughter then of Tyre

There with a gift shall be,

And all the wealthy of the land

Shall make their suit to thee.

The daughter of the King

All-glorious is within;

And with embroideries of gold

Her garments wrought have been.

3

She cometh to the King

In robes with needle wrought;

The virgins that do follow her

Shall unto thee be brought,

With gladness and with joy,

Thou all of them shall bring

And they together enter shall

The palace of the King.

4

And in thy fathers’ stead,

Thy children Thou shalt take,

And in all places of the earth

Them noble princes make.

I will show forth thy name

To generations all;

The people therefore evermore

To Thee give praises shall.
