His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
Two features of her beloved in description the Church joins together in this verse: the cheeks of Christ and his lips. Perhaps by the former may be meant the beauties of his Person; and by the latter, the blessedness of what he delivered. And to those who have seen the King in his beauty, and heard the gracious, words which proceed out of his mouth, nothing can more strikingly set forth the Person and offices of the Lord Jesus.
