O send the day of joy and light,
For long has been our sorrow's night;
Afflicted through the weary years,
We wait until They help appears;
With us and with our sons abide,
In us let God be glorified,
In us let God be glorified.
"Those years, months, weeks, days, and hours, that are not filled up with God, with Christ, with grace, and with duty, will certainly be filled up with vanity and folly. The neglect of one day, of one duty, of one hour, would undo us, if we had not an Advocate with the Father." -Thomas Brooks
"Whatsoever we have over-loved, idolized, and leaned upon, God has from time to time broken it, and made us to see the vanity of it; so that we find the readiest course to be rid of our comforts is to set our hearts inordinately upon them." -John Flavel
