Names of Christ - Beloved

My Beloved is white and ruddy,

the Chiefest among ten thousand.

His head is as the most fine gold,

His locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters,

washed with milk, and fitly set.

His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers:

His lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.

His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl:

His belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.

His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold:

His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

His mouth is most sweet: yea, He is altogether lovely.

This is my Beloved, and this is my Friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. Song of Solomon 5:10-16
