Oh, Happy Day, When The Soul Is Espoused To CHRIST.

Allured by the magnetic power of HIS love!
(Archibald Brown, "The Birth-day of Blessing!" 1870, Stepney Green Tabernacle)

The day of conversion is termed 

the "day of espousals" in Song of Solomon3:11. 

It is the day in which JESUS, our Heavenly 

Bridegroom, wins the heart of HIS bride. 

HE . . .
  reveals HIS love to her,
  shows HIS beauties to her,
  tells her of HIS sufferings for her sake.

HE woos her by HIS sighs and tears 

and agonies, and lays siege to her 

heart on every side--

while HIS lips drop honey-words 

of loving affection. Unable to resist 

such heavenly importunity, she finds 

her prejudices melting fast away. 

One barrier after another is broken down, 

and at last, allured by the magnetic 
power of HIS love, she gives herself 
to HIM, and with tears of joy exclaims, 

"My Beloved is mine--and I am HIS!" 
(Song Of Solomon 2:16)

Oh, happy day, when the soul is espoused 

to CHRIST. All Heaven looks on and rings 

a marriage peal, while the sweetest music 

fills the new-born heart!
