From the hymn O Morning Star How Fair and Bright:
Come heav’nly Bridegroom, Light divine, and deep within our hearts now shine;
There light a flame undying! In your one body let us be as living branches of a tree, Your life our lives supplying.
Now though daily Earth’s deep sadness may perplex us and distress us, yet with heav’nly joy You bless us.
What joy to know, when life is past, the Lord we love is first and last, the end and the beginning!
He will one day , oh, glorious grace, transport us to that happy place beyond all tears and sinning!
Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! Crown of gladness! We are yearning for the day of Your returning!
