I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dripped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
All Commentaries on Song of Songs 5:5 Go To Song of Songs 5
Gregory The Dialogist
AD 604
Myrrh indicates the death of our flesh, and so the church says of its members who are striving even to death on behalf of God: “My hands dripped with myrrh.”
