Spurgeon's Song of Song Survey
Song of Songs – Come, My Beloved
Come, My Beloved
Song of Solomon 8:14
Pastor’s Opening
THE Song of Songs describes the love of Jesus Christ to his people, and it ends with an intense desire on the part of the Church that the Lord Jesus should come back to her. The last word of the lover to the beloved one is, “Speed thy return; make haste and come back.” Is it not somewhat singular that, as the last verse of the Book of love has this note in it, so the last verses of the whole Book of God, which I may also call the Book of love, have that same thought in them?
