1 The Song of songs, which is Solomonโ€™s.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.

3 Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you.

4 Take me away with you. Let us hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! They are right to love you.

5 I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedarโ€™s tents, like Solomonโ€™s curtains.

6 Donโ€™t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My motherโ€™s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I havenโ€™t kept my own vineyard.

7 Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; For why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions?

8 If you donโ€™t know, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherdsโ€™ tents.

9 I have compared you, my love, to a steed in Pharaohโ€™s chariots.

10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.

11 We will make you earrings of gold, with studs of silver.

12 While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.

13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.

14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.

15 Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves.

16 Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our couch is verdant.

17 The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.

“The kiss of the Word to the soul โ€” the mystical union between Christ (the Bridegroom) and the Church (the Bride) and between the Logos and the individual soul.”

What the Early Church wrote about Song of Solomon 1 (4)

  • “The entire Symposium is structured as a commentary on the Song of Songsโ€”ten virgins speaking in turn at a banquet, each explaining a verse or theme from the Song in praise of virginity.”

    — Methodius (3rd century) on Song of Songs 1:1

  • “Therefore the virgins love You and run after You โ€” the closing hymn of the Symposium quotes Song 1:3 as the virginal chorus's cry of love for Christ the Bridegroom.”

    — Methodius (3rd century) on Song of Songs 1:3

  • “The king has brought me into his chambers โ€” that is, Christ the Word has brought the virgin soul into the innermost sanctuary of knowledge, the holy of holies of contemplation.”

  • “But the matter of his writings was various, as is shown in the phrase "Song of Songs; "for that indicates that in this one book he digested the contents of the 5,000 songs. In the days moreover of Hezekiah, there were some of the books selected for use, and others set aside.”

    — Hippolytus (3rd century) on Song of Solomon 1:1
