"The king hath brought me into his chambers." - Song of Solomon 1:4
Yes, he who is King of nations, King of saints, is my God and King
also; for he hath an universal empire, being one with the Father over
all, blessed for ever. Amen. To him I bow the knee, and humbly and
gratefully desire to put the crown of my salvation on his adorable
head. And what hath this Sovereign done for thee, my soul? Oh record
his praise; tell it to saints and sinners all around. This great, and
glorious, and condescending King, hath not only brought thee out of
darkness and the shadow of death, but hath brought thee into his
chambers. What chambers? Chambers of sweet communion and fellowship;
chambers of love, of grace, of mercy, of redemption, of ordinances, and
of all covenant blessings. He hath taught me of his love, and my
privileges in him, and so assured me of my everlasting safety in him
and his finished salvation, that by and by, when from those outward
chambers of grace, he hath accomplished all his blessed purposes
concerning me, he will bring me home into his inner chambers of light
and glory, from whence I shall go out no more, but dwell in them, and
in the presence of God and the Lamb, for ever and ever. Hallelujah.
