My Beloved!''

Back to THE LOVINGNESS OF JESUS 2

---

(Octavius Winslow, "None Like Christ" 1866)

"How is your beloved better than others?"
    Song of Solomon 5:9

Does the world challenge– "How is your beloved 
better than others?" Your answer is at hand– 
"My beloved bore my sins, and opened in His heart 
a fountain in which I am washed whiter than snow!

My beloved . . .
  sustains my burdens,
  counsels my perplexities,
  heals my wounds,
  dries my tears,
  supplies my needs,
  bears with my infirmities,
  upholds my steps, and
  cheers my pathway to the tomb. 

My beloved will be with me in the valley of 
the shadow of death, and with His presence 
I shall fear no evil.

My beloved has gone to prepare a place for me 
in the many-mansioned house of my Father, and 
will come again and receive me to Himself, that 
where He is, I may be also. 

My beloved will walk with me in the gold-paved 
streets of the new Jerusalem. He will lead me to 
fountains of living waters, and will wipe every 

tear from my eyes! He is altogether lovely! 
This is my beloved, and this is my Friend!"
