51 "I have come into my garden , my sister , my bride ; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam . I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey ; I have drunk my wine and my milk . Eat , friends ; Drink and imbibe deeply , O lovers ."

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Song of Solomon 5:1

Commentary on Song of Solomon 5:1

(Read Song of Solomon 5:1)

See how ready Christ is to accept the invitations of his people. What little good there is in us would be lost, if he did not preserve it to himself. He also invites his beloved people to eat and drink abundantly. The ordinances in which they honour him, are means of grace.
