Song of Solomon 2:14

O my dove! that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs: let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, thy countenance is comely.

These are the words of Christ to his church; and may be considered either as coming immediately out of his own mouth; or else, as recorded and related by her, as the former were: in which may be considered;

I. The title or character which Christ gives to his church; "my dove."

II. Her then present place of residence; "in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs."

III. A request which he makes, which consists of two parts. 1st, That he might see her countenance. 2dly, Hear her voice.

IV. The motives or arguments that he makes use of to prevail with her; which are also of two sorts, suited to both parts of the request, 1st, Because her voice was sweet. 2dly, Her countenance was comely.
