"Yes, He is
altogether lovely." Song of Songs 5:16
(by Samuel Rutherford)
Put the beauty of ten thousand thousand worlds of
paradises, like the garden of Eden, into one; put in
all pleasant trees,
all pleasant flowers,
all pleasant smells,
all pleasant colors,
all pleasant tastes,
all joys,
all sweetness, and
all loveliness, together into one.
Oh, what a lovely and excellent place that would be!
And yet it would be less in comparison to that
lovely and dearest 'Well Beloved', Christ, than
one drop of rain to all the seas, rivers, lakes,
and fountains of ten thousand earths.
"Yes, He is altogether lovely." Song of
Songs 5:16
