Song of Songs 7: 10-13

Translation:

I belong to my beloved,

and his desire is for me.

Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside,

let us spend the night in the villages.

Let us go early to the vineyards

to see if the vines have budded,
 if their blossoms have opened,

and if the pomegranates are in bloom —

there I will give you my love.

The mandrakes send out their fragrance,

and at our door is every delicacy,
both new and old,

that I have stored up for you, my beloved.

– Communion – SATB Choir

Song of Songs 8: 11-14

Translation:

Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon. He entrusted it to overseers, and each one was to pay him the value of its produce, a thousand shekels of silver.

But I tend my own vineyard myself. You, Solomon, may have your thousand shekels, and those who oversee its produce their two hundred.

You who dwell in the gardens, my companions listen for your voice; let me hear it.

Haste away, my love, be like a gazelle, a young stag, on the spice-laden mountains.

– Psalm 150 – SATB Choir, String Quartet

Translation:

Alleluia! Praise God in his holy place, praise him in the heavenly vault of his power,

praise him for his mighty deeds, praise him for all his greatness.

Praise him with fanfare of trumpet, praise him with harp and lyre,

praise him with tambourines and dancing, praise him with strings and pipes,

praise him with the clamour of cymbals, praise him with triumphant cymbals,

Let everything that breathes praise Yahweh. Alleluia!
