Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, With me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Senir and Hermon, From the lions` dens, From the mountains of the leopards.

A Call from Danger to Safety

The groom calls his bride to leave her mountainous home, a place filled with dangers like lions and leopards. Commentators see this as a powerful picture of Christ calling believers to leave the perilous allurements of the world. As Charles Spurgeon notes, even the world's most attractive places can be 'lions' dens' compared to the safety of fellowship with Jesus.
