Song of Solomon 6:2 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Is gone — The spouse had hitherto been at a loss for her beloved, but having diligently sought him, now at last she meets with a gracious answer from God, directing her where to find him. The garden may signify the church catholic, and the gardens, as it follows, as also the beds, the particular assemblies of the faithful, in which Christ affords his presence. Spices — In which the gifts and graces of God's spirit, fitly compared to spices, grow. To feed — To refresh and delight himself. Lillies — Which may denote either, particular believers, whom Christ gathers to himself in his church; or, the prayers and praises of his people in the publick congregations.
