Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"Draw me; we will run after thee: The king hath brought me into his chambers; We will be glad and rejoice in thee; We will make mention of thy love more than of wine: Rightly do they love thee. I am black, but comely, Oh ye daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon." — Song Of Solomon 1:4-5 (ASV)

The king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

The spouse was black in herself; sunburnt through her toil and hard suffering; yet lovely in the sight of her Beloved, and comely to look upon as the curtains of Solomon.
