1.

Who is she who’s so peaceful and modest
And in righteousness goes on her way?
In her heart she despises all evil;
Worldly glory she turneth away.

Chorus:

It’s the bride on her way to the Bridegroom;
He has captured her heart and her mind.
Soon she’ll enter the marriage rejoicing
And will leave this dark world far behind.

2.

Who is she who to Him is devoted,
Keeping all His commandments in love?
To the heavens her vision is lifted;
Her affections are anchored above.

3.

Who is she who must walk so despisèd,
Though she loves and she serves only Him?
She divides not her heart like the others;
Her desire is to stay pure within.

4.

Who is she who rejoices in trials
And who laughs at the times yet to come?
She declareth His virtues so holy,
With a zeal and a love for each one.

5.

She’s more beautiful than any lily;
Midst the thorns her aroma’s so sweet.
And her joy is eternal, unfading,
For to do God’s good will is her meat.
