“Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.”- Songs 2:17

Some days are bright with a clear sunshine, other days may be overcast. So the child of God may one day walk, with full assurance of faith, in close fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ; and at another time he may be questioning his interest in the covenant of grace, and may be rather sighing than singing, rather mourning than rejoicing. The child of God may be, then, in comparative darkness. But yet it can only be temporary darkness. The same text which suggests night promises dawn: “Until the day break, and the shadows flee away,” says the song of the spouse. We have a prospect that the day will break, and the shadows flee away. Our petition: “Turn, my Beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of division.” We are content to wait if He will come to us; if gladdened with His presence, the night shall seem short, and we can well endure all that it brings. Let the prayer of our text be put up by any of you who are waiting in the darkness, and may it be speedily answered in your happy experience!

“Come to me, my Beloved, over the hills of division; come as a roe or a young hart;” and He will come to you. Put up your prayer in these sweet words:

“When wilt Thou come unto me, Lord?
O come, my Lord most dear!
Come near, come nearer, nearer still,
I’m blest when Thou art near.

“When wilt Thou come unto me, Lord?
Until Thou dost appear,
I count each moment for a day,
Each minute for a year.”
