Old Testament: Song of Solomon 5–8 Song of Solomon 5–8 (Listen) He 5   I came to my garden, my sister, my bride,<br />    I gathered my myrrh with my spice,<br />    I ate my honeycomb with my honey,<br />    I drank my wine with my milk.<br /> Others   Eat, friends, drink,<br />    and be drunk with love!<br /> The Bride Searches for Her Beloved She 2   I slept, but my heart was awake.<br />  A sound! My beloved is knocking.<br />  “Open to me, my sister, my love,<br />    my dove, my perfect one,<br />  for my head is wet with dew,<br />    my locks with the drops of the night.”<br />3   I had put off my garment;<br />    how could I put it on?<br />  I had bathed my feet;<br />    how could I soil them?<br />4   My beloved put his hand to the latch,<br />    and my heart was thrilled within me.<br />5   I arose to open to my beloved,<br />    and my hands dripped with myrrh,<br />
