Arise for SSAATTBB Choir
2008
Geoff Knorr
Arise, my love, My beautiful one, and come with me. My dove in the clefts of the rock, In the hiding places on the mountainside, Show me your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely. Arise, come, my love; My beautiful one, come with me. How beautiful you are, my lover! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves. ‌as innocent as doves. Like a lily among thorns Is my love among the maidens. You have captivated my heart, My sister, my bride; You have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes‌ You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you. How beautiful you are, my lover! Oh, how beautiful! Behold, I stand at the door and knock. Show me your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely.
Do you love me? Do you truly love me? …I have loved you. You are … beautiful… …radiant… …blameless… without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish This is a profound mystery…Christ and the church. Arise, Awake, Follow me.
Lyrics based on Biblical passages from the Song of Solomon, Matthew, Luke, John, Ephesians, and Revelation. Compiled and edited by Geoff Knorr.

For SSAATTBB Choir
Performance Notes: Minimal vibrato and, generally, a rounder, darker tone should be used throughout. In particularly quiet sections, no vibrato/almost no vibrato should be used. There may be sections where a certain amount of brightness could be desirable, but all such decisions are left to the choral director and chorus.
Duration: ca. 8’ - 9’
