Description

For SATB Choir. "Set me as a seal upon thine heart..." Some of the most beautiful poetry found in the Scriptures set to some of the most stunning music! Weddings, sure, but look for other times to use this as well - in fact anytime "Love" is the theme.

Song of Solomon 8:6-7

Lyrics

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm:
for love is strong as death.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.
