Scripture Text: Song of Solomon 7:1-6 (22a, page 186-187)
Verses 1-6
How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O daughter of a prince. The curves of your hips are like ornaments, the work of the hands of an artist. Your navel is a round chalice. It never lacks mixed wine. Your abdomen is a stack of wheat surrounded with lotus flowers. Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. Your neck is like a tower of ivory. Your eyes are like pools of understanding by the gate of a crowded city. Your nose is like a tower in Lebanon, Keeping watch over Damascus. Your head crowns you like Carmel. And the flowing hair of your head is like purple threads—
The king is held captive by your tresses. How beautiful and how lovely you are.
Love flows through your tender affection.
