Christ will make His seeking lover (Hymn 1161)

Verse 1: Christ will make His seeking lover Pillar, couch, and palanquin, E'en a crown, His boast and glory; He will do it all! Amen! Verse 2: But there still remains a shadow; Christ is still not satisfied. He must have a growing garden To become His loving Bride! Verse 3: Paradise of pomegranates, Pleasant fruits, and henna flowers, Spikenard, saffron, myrrh, and aloes: His enjoyment now—not ours. Verse 4: He has come into His garden, Gathered myrrh and spices there, Eaten honeycomb and honey; Wine and milk He'll drink fore'er. Verse 5: From the garden comes the city, All materials thus supplied; God is satisfied completely, And the foe is terrified. Verse 6: "Thou art fair, my love, as Tirzah, Comely as Jerusalem." O Lord Jesus, Hallelujah, Thou wilt do it all! Amen!
