Lord Jesus Christ, our heart feels sweet
Whene’er we think on Thee,
And long that to Thy presence dear
We soon might raptured be!
Whene’er we think on Thee,
And long that to Thy presence dear
We soon might raptured be!
Lord, like the pretty henna-flower*,
In vineyards blossoming Thou art;
Incomp’rable Thy beauty is,
Admires and loves our heart!
In vineyards blossoming Thou art;
Incomp’rable Thy beauty is,
Admires and loves our heart!

There is no music adequate
Thy grace in full to praise,
Nor there a heart which could enjoy
Thy love in every phase.
Thy grace in full to praise,
Nor there a heart which could enjoy
Thy love in every phase.

Yet, what delights our heart the most
Is not Thy love, Thy grace;
But it is Thine own loving Self
That satisfies always.
Is not Thy love, Thy grace;
But it is Thine own loving Self
That satisfies always.

Oh, Thou art fairer than the fair,
And sweeter than the sweet;
Beside Thee, none in heaven or earth
Our heart’s desire could meet.
And sweeter than the sweet;
Beside Thee, none in heaven or earth
Our heart’s desire could meet.
* An Old World plant, prized for its
fragrant yellow and white flowers.

In the first part of [Song of Songs], the Lord Jesus was the henna flower to the seeking one. She said, “My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna flowers.” But now she grows henna flowers for the Lord. He was the henna flower to her, and now she grows the henna flowers to Him. He was her enjoyment, but now what He is has been wrought into her, and she is growing it back to Him for His enjoyment... We are God’s farm to grow the materials for the building up of God’s house. This is why we are both the garden and the city... The city, New Jerusalem, is called the Bride of the Lamb. ~ Life and Building in the Song of Songs, p. 82

Lord Jesus, I call upon Your name from the lowest pit. You have heard me, do not hide your ear at my breathing, at my cry.
