Song of Solomon 3:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
3 1 The Church desireth to be joined inseparably to Christ her husband. 6 Her deliverance out of the wilderness.
1 In my bed by [a]night I sought him that my soul loved: I sought him, but I found him not.
2 I will rise therefore now, and go about in the city, by the streets, and by the open places, and will [b]seek him that my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3 The [c]watchmen that went about the city, found me: to whom I said, Have you seen him whom my soul loveth?
