¹⁴For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
¹⁵And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
¹⁶But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
¹⁷By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

• The Bridegroom. (Vss. 8-11). (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)

• Here for the first time we hear the Bridegroom's voice. He addresses the bride as the "fairest among women." Black in her own sight she may be, hated too and persecuted by others, but in His sight, she is the "fairest among women." Nothing will alter Christ's estimate of His people. (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)

• Would we know where to find food and rest for our souls we must follow in the footsteps of the flock. Christ has His flock and His shepherds in this world. And Christ, the chief Shepherd of the sheep, leads His flock into green pastures. Would we be fed, then let us follow in the footsteps of the flock. (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)

• Let her feed the lambs beside the shepherd's tents, and in feeding others she will herself be fed. (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)
