| We know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. (Rom. 8:22‑23) |
| In this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. (2 Cor. 5:2) |
’Tis Thy heavenly bride and Spirit,
Jesus, Lord! that bid Thee come;
All the glory to inherit,
And to take Thy people home;
All creation
Travails, groans, till Thou shalt come. |
