Spurgeon's Song of Song Survey
A Song of Songs – The Church’s Love for Her Lord
SERMON OVERVIEW
The Church’s Love of Her Lord
Song of Solomon 1:7
Pastor’s Opening
We shall need to lift up our hearts to God and ask to be quickened in grace, or the precious truths in our text will not prove to us “as honey out of the rock,” nor the “feast of fat things, of wine and marrow, of wine on the lees well refined.” We cannot appreciate the spirituality of this book, unless God’s Spirit shall help us.

PurchaseMain Theme(s)
Pastor’s sermon presents three main points in his discourse:
- We commence with the title: “O thou whom my soul loveth.”
- The second point of consideration is the DESIRE OF THE CHURCH AFTER CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.
- THE ARGUMENT USED BY THE CHURCH. “Why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?” Thou hast plenty of companions-— why should I be turned aside?
