Behold the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.—Isaiah, xl. 10.
To judge the unfaithful dead, but to reward
His faithful, and receive them into bliss.
Milton.
Blest are the humble souls that see
Their emptiness and poverty,
Treasures of grace to them are given,
And crowns of joy laid up in heaven.
Blest are the men of broken heart,
Who mourn for sin with inward smart,
