Charles Spurgeon Commentary Song Of Solomon 4:6

"Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, And to the hill of frankincense." — Song Of Solomon 4:6 (ASV)

Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

Our Beloved has gone away from us until the day of his reappearing—until the night of his Church's anxiety is over, and the Sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings.

Jesus has gone from earth, but where is he? He has gone to intercede for us before the throne of his Father above; he has gone to where there are mountains of myrrh.

Think, beloved, of the sweet perfume that ever arises from his one great sacrifice for sins; well may he compare it to a mountain of myrrh and to a hill of frankincense.
