Charles Spurgeon Commentary Song Of Solomon 8:13

"Thou that dwellest in the gardens, The companions hearken for thy voice: Cause me to hear it." — Song Of Solomon 8:13 (ASV)

You that dwell in the gardens, the companions hearken to your voice: cause me to hear it.

For to hear that voice will be far better than the 'two hundred' which will be my share of the fruit. If I may have you with me, O my Lord, I will be better pleased, though my portion of fruit should be very small indeed, for in having you my portion will be great indeed!

I hear, my Lord, that some of your people live with you until they are called your companions. There are some whom you call your friends; there are disciples whom Jesus loves.

These hearken to your voice: cause me to hear it. Unstop my deaf ear, give me a sensitive spirit, let my soul thrill, and my heart throb, and my whole being delight to obey every syllable that falls from your blessed lips.

You that dwell in the gardens, the companions hearken to your voice: cause me to hear it.
