You Are Beautiful in Christ
Commentators like John Gill and Matthew Henry interpret the lover's praise as Christ speaking to the believer or the church.

This beauty is not physical but a spiritual comeliness given by Christ's grace, which makes believers righteous and beautiful in His sight, even when they feel unworthy.
