In Song of Solomon, chapter five, verse sixteen, “His mouth is most sweet: yea, He is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.” Everything about the bridegroom is precious, desirable, and delightful. The theme title, “He is altogether lovely,” reminds spouses of the conversations and the words they received from them by phone, text, email, or in person. Many encounters and relationships are initiated by a chat or discussion that grabs their attention.
His mouth is most sweet, which was said before in other words, as in chapter five, verse thirteen, and is here justly repeated, because it was a principal part of Christ’s beauty, and the chief instrument of the spouse’s comfort and happiness, which wholly depends upon His sweet and excellent speeches, His holy precepts and gracious offers and promises contained in the gospel. He is altogether lovely; not to run out into more particulars, in one word, there is no part of Him which is not exquisitely beautiful.
There is a song that honors the bridegroom, who is the Son of God, and the bride is the saints of God.
The words begin with part of the song and not all:
You are holy, O so holy
You are holy, O so holy
What a privilege and an honor
To worship at Your throne
To be called into Your presence as Your own
You are worthy, O so worthy (so worthy)
You are worthy, O so worthy
What a privilege and an honor
To worship at Your throne
To be called into Your presence as Your own
You are faithful, O so faithful
You are faithful, O so faithful
What a privilege and an honor
To worship at Your throne
To be called into Your presence as Your own
