Arise, come; show me your face
Arise, come, my neighbor, my fair one, my dove! Show me your face; let your voice sound in my ears. For your voice is sweet, and your face is fair. The dove signifies a soul that is simple and fitted to the Holy Spirit. Show your face: make contemplation plain. Let your voice sound: preach and confess. A sweet voice and a fair face: sweet teaching and a beautiful way of life. These things are said by the Bridegroom to the Bride at the end of the second Homily, so that the church may be called to seeing and hearing and preaching — to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Latin
Surge, veni, proxima mea, speciosa mea, columba mea! Ostende mihi faciem tuam; sonet vox tua in auribus meis. Vox enim tua suavis, et facies tua speciosa. Columba simplicem et Spiritui sancto congruentem animam significat. Ostende faciem: manifesta contemplationem. Sonet vox: praedica et confitere. Vox suavis et facies speciosa: doctrina dulcis et conversatio pulchra. Haec in fine Homiliae secundae a sponso sponsae dicuntur, ut ecclesia ad videndum et audiendum et praedicandum provocetur — cui gloria in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
