Unto what shall I liken thee, my fairest Lord, oh glorious King Not in word or rhyme or melody could I express Your holiness For the flowers lose their glory, the stars will fade away But Your throne will last forever, as it was and is today Oh lovely one, my heart's desire This offering of praise is all I have to bring to You My dearest friend, oh lovely One, oh lovely One Oh, the beauty of the nail-pierced hands, the crown of thorns, the blood You've shed Oh, the wonder of the mystery, that You would give Your life for me For the flowers lose their glory, the stars will fade away But Your throne will last forever, as it was and is today Oh lovely one, my heart's desire This offering of praise is all I have to bring to You My dearest friend, oh lovely One, oh lovely One My dearest friend, oh lovely One, oh lovely One My dearest friend, oh lovely One, oh lovely One
