"His mouth is most sweet, and He is altogether lovely.
This is my Beloved, and this is my Friend." Song 5:16
That is, His mouth is sweetnesses, and He is altogether
desirablenesses, or He is wholly desirable. Alas! says the
spouse, I lack words to express how sweet, how lovely,
how adorable, how desirable, how eminent, and how
excellent Christ is in my eyeand to my soul! All that
is perfect in heaven or earth, is but a dim shadow of His
excellency and glory. Where Christ isthere is heaven.
Heaven itself, in the spouse's eyes, without Christ,
would be but a poor little thing. The spouse looks upon
Christ as the sparkling diamond in the ring of glory.
