 The eye and the heart of the Bridegroom turn from the contemplation of them all, to admire the loved one by His side. He sees in her what He can see nowhere else-the feelings and affections of His heart, reflecting back on Himself from hers. (Song of Solomon 4 by A. Miller)
 "Thou hast ravished my heart;" in the margin it is, "taken away." Amazing truth! The heart of Christ ravished-taken away! And by what-by whom? By the attractions of a sinner saved by grace-by one who has been washed in His own precious blood, and adorned with His own peerless excellencies. (Song of Solomon 4 by A. Miller)
 What the Lord here means by the words "one of thine eyes, one chain of thy neck," may be difficult to determine. He may refer to His appreciation of each single grace, and each spiritual ornament in the believer; or, of His delight in each believer, individually, as well as in His people collectively. The least of all saints can never be overlooked by Him, or undistinguished from others, either in time or in eternity. We are loved as individuals, saved and glorified as individuals. This truth is clearly taught in Luke 15, and John also speaks much of our individual blessing, the family of God being his principal theme. (Song of Solomon 4 by A. Miller)
 Twice he repeats, "Thou hast taken away, [or "ravished"] My heart." It is well for us to have our affections delighting in Christ, but nothing so establishes the heart and fills it with adoring joy as the realization of the delight that Christ finds in His people. (Canticle 3: The Communion of Love by H. Smith)
 Little wonder if our hearts were ravished with Christ, but that His heart should be ravished by His people is indeed a world's wonder. (Canticle 3: The Communion of Love by H. Smith)
 It was but a glance of the eye and a chain of the neck. But that look was a look of love, and the chain spoke of the adorning that He Himself had put upon her. As we should say, "We love Him because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19). The glance of the eye speaks of the love of the heart, and the chain of the neck proclaims that the love of the heart is the fruit of His own love. (Canticle 3: The Communion of Love by H. Smith)
