(Song of Solomon 2) The Lily of the Valley

“I am the spring crocus blooming on the Sharon Plain, the lily of the valley.”

‘He (Christ) is the Lily of the valley’, as the old hymn goes, ‘the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.’ But He is also the Lily in the valley, signifying the perseverance, promise and purpose available to us even in the most difficult of circumstances.
