Christ will make His seeking lover

Christ will make His seeking lover

Pillar

couch

and palanquin

E’en a crown

His boast and glory;

He will do it all! Amen!

His beloved—how He loves her

So attractive

His delight.

He is captivated wholly;

She is comely in His sight.

But there still remains a shadow;

Christ is still not satisfied.

He must have a growing garden

To become His loving Bride!

Paradise of pomegranates

Pleasant fruits

and henna flowers

Spikenard

saffron

myrrh

and aloes:

His enjoyment now—not ours.

He has come into His garden

Gathered myrrh and spices there

Eaten honeycomb and honey;

Wine and milk He’ll drink fore’er.

From the garden comes the city

All materials thus supplied;

God is satisfied completely

And the foe is terrified.

“Thou art fair

my love

as Tirzah

Comely as Jerusalem.”

O Lord Jesus

Hallelujah

Thou wilt do it all! Amen!
