| If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Col. 3:1‑3) |
| Gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:13) |
Thy mercy, O God, is the theme of our song, The joy of our heart, and the boast of our tongue; And grant us still patience to wait at Thy throne, And find, never-ceasing, the foretaste of home. |
