A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)
Song of Solomon 1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon.
"Black, But Comely"
1. Mysterious truth, the saints are all
Both black and comely too;
Black and polluted through the fall,
Comely in Jesus' view.
2. Black as the tents of Kedar's race,
They own themselves most vile;
But comely through their Surety's grace,
And favour'd with His smile.
3. I'll own my blackness till I lie
Abas'd at Jesus' feet;
I'll claim my comeliness, and cry,
"Lord, take me to Thy seat."
