All Thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia. Psalm 45:8
The garments of the Saviour were all fragrant, whether the swaddling bands of His nativity; the seamless robe of the days of His ministry; the linen towel of His humility in the upper room when He washed the disciples’ feet; the purple robe with which they dressed Him in mockery; the linen grave clothes in which He was wrapped for His burial. Some excellency of His Person pervades every garment and makes Him precious to God, and sweet to His people. —Jim Flanigan
My Lord has garments so wondrous fine,
And myrrh their texture fills;
Its fragrance reached to this heart of mine,
With joy my being thrills. —H. Barraclough
