• The Bride. (Vss. 1:16-2:1). (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)

• With great delight the bride at once responds, "Behold, Thou art fair, my Beloved." Her comeliness is the counterpart of his. Is Christ fair? So are His people. The beauty of the Lord God is upon us (Psa. 90:17). (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)

• But she can add, "Yea, pleasant." Of others it may be said, many are "fair" that are not "pleasant," and some are pleasant that are not fair. Christ is not only fair to look upon, but He is wholly pleasant to engage the thoughts. (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)

• "Our bed is green." The bed refers to the couch on which the King and the bride recline at the King's table, and gives the thought of rest. When Christ takes His place in the midst of His own there is found a green spot in this barren world. In His presence there is rest. But it is “our bed”, the rest is mutual. (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)
