JoLynn! JoLynn
written by Ray Carlton
[verse 1]
O thou, my love, my joy and crown,
I love thee, yea, ‘tis true;
for ‘tis of thee, I joyfully,
give unto thee thy due.
Thou art my love, my heart and soul,
thou art my one desire;
for as I love, my tender Dove,
thou dost my love inspire.
[chorus]
JoLynn! JoLynn! I love thee, yea,
thy beauty, loving grace;
how I rejoice, to hear thy voice,
and see thy lovely face.
(thy joyful, lovely face)
[verse 2]
How I am blest of God with thee,
O thou, my tender prose;
mine heart doth say, to thee alway,
thou art my fragrant Rose.
Forthwith, I seek to love thee more,
and more and evermore;
to have and hold, a love so bold,
that doth our hearts restore.
[chorus]
JoLynn! JoLynn! I love thee, yea,
thy beauty, loving grace;
how I rejoice, to hear thy voice,
and see thy lovely face.
(thy joyful, lovely face)
[verse 3]
O hear mine heart of love for thee,
and know my soul withal;
I to thee sing, and joy thee bring,
and give thee sweet recall.
Thou art my life, my soul and song,
thou art my happiness;
forever thee, mine eyes shalt see,
and all thy blessedness.
[bridge]
Let us rejoice together and,
let us together live;
to be our best, be ever blest,
to love, and serve and give.
[chorus]
JoLynn! JoLynn! I love thee, yea,
thy beauty, loving grace;
how I rejoice, to hear thy voice,
and see thy lovely face.
(thy joyful, lovely face)
[finale]
JoLynn! JoLynn! How blest am I,
JoLynn! JoLynn, my love;
JoLynn! JoLynn! forevermore,
and all thou art therof!
(and all thou art therof!)
