1I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.I sat I delighted and sat down, etc.taste: Heb. palate

John Gill comments on this wonderful passage that many today would take from Christ and Apply to the Church or some other:
" the more commonly received opinion is, that these are the words of Christ concerning himself; and which indeed best become him, and are more agreeable to his style and language, ( John 14:6 ) ( 15:9 ) ; and suit best with the words in the ( Song of Solomon 2:2 ) , as one observes ; nor is it unfitly taken by the bridegroom to himself, since it is sometimes given by lovers to men . Christ may be compared to a rose for its colour and smell; to the rose for its red colour: and which may be expressive of the truth of his humanity, and of his bloody sufferings in it; and this, with the whiteness of the lily, finishes the description of him for his beauty, ( Song of Solomon 5:10 ) ; and for its sweet smell; which denotes the same things for which he is before compared to spikenard, myrrh, and camphire.

Some render it, "the flower of the field" ; which may be expressive of the meanness of Christ in the eyes of men; of his not being of human production; of his being accessible; and of his being liable to be trampled upon, as he has been. And as he is compared to a rose, so to a "lily", for its colour, height, and fruitfulness; expressive of his purity in himself, of his superiority to angels and men, and of his being filled with the fruits and blessings of grace; and to a lily of the valleys, denoting his wonderful condescension in his low estate of humiliation, and his delight in dwelling with the humble and lowly: some render the words, "I am the rose of Sharon, with the lily of the valleys" ; by the former epithet meaning himself; and by the latter his church, his companion, in strict union and communion with him; of whom the following words are spoken....
