Song of Solomon 3:1 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

By night — When others compose themselves to sleep, my affections were working towards him. I sought — I sought for Christ's gracious and powerful presence. I sought — This repetition denotes her perseverance and unweariedness in seeking him. Found him not — For he had withdrawn the manifestations of his love from me, either because I had not sought him diligently, or because I had abused his favour.
