His fruit was sweet to my taste. Song of Solomon chapter 2 verse 3.

Faith in the scripture is spoken of under the emblem of all the senses. It is sight. Look unto me and be saved. It is hearing. Hear and your soul shall live. Faith is smelling. All thy garments smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia. Thy name is as an ointment poured forth. Faith is spiritual touch. By this faith, the woman came behind and touched the hem of Christ's garment. And by this, we handle the things of the good word of life. Faith is equally the Spirit's taste. How sweet are thy words to my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my lips! Except a man eat my flesh, saith Christ, and drink my blood, there is no life in him.

This taste is faith in one of its highest operations. One of the first performances of faith is hearing. We hear the voice of God, not with the outward ear alone, but with the inward ear. We hear it as God's word, and we believe it to be so. That is the hearing of faith. Then our mind looketh upon the truth as it is presented to us. That is to say, we understand it, we perceive its meaning. That is the seeing of faith.

Next, we discover its preciousness. We begin to admire it and find how fragrant it is. That is faith in its smell. Then we appropriate the mercies which are prepared for us in Christ. That is faith in its touch. Hence follow the enjoyments, peace, delight, communion, which are faith in its taste. Any one of these acts of the soul will save us. But that which gives the true enjoyment is the aspect of faith wherein Christ by holy taste is received unto us and made by inward and spiritual apprehension of his sweetness and preciousness to be the food of our souls.

It is then we sit under his shadow with great delight and find his fruit sweet. to our taste.
