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!
 
Lord, like the pretty henna-flower*,
  In vineyards blossoming Thou art;
Incomp’rable Thy beauty is,
    Admires and loves our heart!
2
There is no music adequate
  Thy grace in full to praise,
Nor there a heart which could enjoy
  Thy love in every phase.
3
Yet, what delights our heart the most
  Is not Thy love, Thy grace;
But it is Thine own loving Self
  That satisfies always.
4
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.
* An Old World plant, prized for its
fragrant yellow and white flowers.
(Song of Songs 1:14, A.S.V.)

Christ as the reality of all positive things

As we have seen, Christ is the Triune God — the Father, the Son, and the Spirit — and He is the embodiment of God. Christ is many other items, such as the reality of the plants mentioned positively in the Bible. Christ is the real cedar tree (Lev. 14:4; 1 Kings 6:9), the real hyssop (Lev. 14:4; Psa. 51:7), and the real henna flower (S. S. 1:14). The chorus of Hymns, #171 says,

Lord, like the pretty henna-flower,

In vineyards blossoming Thou art;

Incomp’rable Thy beauty is,

Admires and loves our heart!

At the time the Song of Songs was written, the henna flower was used by women as a cosmetic. We should take Christ as our beauty. Christ is also the apple tree (2:3). The word translated “apple” in Song of Songs 2:3 is actually the word for a juicy and nourishing tropical fruit. We need to be beautified with Christ as the henna flower and nourished with Christ as the fruit. Moreover, we can sit under His shadow to rest, enjoy, and relax (v. 3). Christ is also the planting place of renown in Ezekiel 34:29.

Christ is the reality of everything positive. Colossians 2:16-17 says, “Let no one therefore judge you in eating and in drinking or in respect of a feast or of a new moon or of the Sabbath, which are a shadow of the things to come, but the body is of Christ. ” Christ is the reality of the Sabbath and the festivals in the Old Testament. Christ is also our food (John 6:32-35), our drink (4:10-14), and our real joy. He is the air, the breath, the soil, and our good land. This is our Savior.

We need to remember Him as all these things. Every week we have at least one meeting for the purpose of coming together to remember Him. At the Lord’s table we display His death for the remembrance of Him. We need to improve our praises at the Lord’s table meeting. We should pray, “Lord, You are our henna flower for our beauty, and You are the fruit for our nourishment. ” If we do not praise Him in this way, it indicates that we do not have the proper knowledge of Christ from the Bible. If we have the adequate knowledge of Christ, we will praise Him adequately at His table.

We must remember what the Christian life is, who we are, and who Christ is. Then day after day we will be refreshed and revived. We will be overcoming and victorious, and we will spread Him. We will bear the responsibility to dispense Him to others, not only to sinners but also to weaker, younger Christians.
