He Is Altogether Lovely

Yea, He is altogether lovely.
Song of Solomon 5:16
 
 "Do not His words cause your hearts to burn within you as He talks
with you by the way? 
 
Ye worshipers of Immanuel, look up to His head of much fine gold, and tell me, are not His thoughts precious unto you? 
---Is not your adoration sweetened with affection as ye humbly bow before that countenance which is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars? 
 
Our love is not as a seal set upon His heart of love alone; it is fastened upon His arm of power also; nor is there a single part of Him upon which it does not fix itself. .... The best even of His favored saints have had blots upon their garments and wrinkles upon their brows; He is nothing but loveliness. 
All earthly suns have their spots: the fair world itself hath its wilderness; ...but Christ Jesus is gold without alloy-light without darkness—glory without cloud—"Yea, He is altogether lovely."
Charles Spurgeon
