16 His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and<br />

this is my friend, O daughters <strong>of</strong> Jerusalem.<br />

5:10-16 My beloved. The mind used to rationalize sin must be re-employed to recognize God. As<br />

the Shulamite maiden praised her lover so the erring Christian must engage in spiritual worship<br />

and praise. The Shulamite maiden honored the kindness, graciousness, willingness to help, the<br />

strength and tenderness <strong>of</strong> her lover. So the Christian must praise the Lord for His tenderness,<br />

His long suffering, His willingness to help the unworthy, and his mercies which are renewed<br />

each day.<br />

“Great is Thy faithfulness,<br />

O God my Father;<br />

There is no shadow<br />

<strong>of</strong> turning with Thee;<br />

Thou changest not,<br />

Thy compassions, they fail not;<br />

As Thou hast been,<br />

Thou forever will be.<br />

Great is Thy faithfulness!<br />

Great is Thy faithfulness!<br />

Morning by morning new mercies I see.<br />

All I have needed<br />

Thy hand hath provided;<br />

Great is Thy faithfulness,<br />

Lord, unto me!<br />

Summer and winter<br />

and springtime and harvest,<br />

Sun, moon and stars<br />

in their courses above<br />

Join with all nature in manifold witness<br />

To Thy great faithfulness,<br />

mercy and love.<br />

Pardon for sin<br />

and a peace that endureth<br />

Thine own dear presence to cheer<br />
