 Again the Beloved testifies to the preciousness of the bride in His eyes. But here also there is a difference. Before, when speaking of her, He added to the gentleness and beauty of her aspect all the graces which were seen in her, the honey that flowed from her lips, the pleasant fruits that were found in her, the sweet odors which He called on the breath of the Spirit to bring forth. He does not now repeat these things. He speaks of that which she is for Him. Having described her personal beauty, His heart dwells on what she is for Himself. (Song of Solomon 6-7 by J.N. Darby)
 The Bridegroom. (Ch. 6:4-9). (Canticle 4: The Restoration of Love by H. Smith)
 Step by step the bride is led on until she finds herself in the presence of the Bridegroom, and at last hears His voice. The first words that fall on her astonished ears are, "Thou art fair, My love." What more touching to the heart that has wandered and grown cold than to be drawn again into His presence; there to realize, in all its sweetness, that, in spite of all our wanderings it can still say, "I am His and He is mine," and to hear those words pregnant with grace to a restored soul, "Thou art fair, My love." (Canticle 4: The Restoration of Love by H. Smith)
 The Bridegroom continues to express the attraction He finds in the one who had cost Him so much. Earth's fairest cities, and the world's bravest display are pressed into service to figure the beauty of the bride. (Canticle 4: The Restoration of Love by H. Smith)
