Thus will the Lord Jesus, the King of glory rejoice to meet the Saints. And surely the Saints (according to their finite capacity,) will not less rejoice and triumph to meet their Lord. Oh! to meet him now, whom their Soul loved; whom in the days of their Pilgrimage (upon Earth) they often sought and could not find; sought him in Prayer, Meditation, Conference, &c. but could not find him; and when they could not find him, mourned for him, lamented after him; bedewed their cheeks with Tears; asking solicitously of every one they met, Saw ye not him, whom my Soul loveth?

I say; To meet him, now on the Throne of his glory; of whom, could they have had but a glimpse in a glass darkly, in the Evangelical Ordinances, 1their Souls would have made them like the Chariots of Aminadab. To see him whom (having not seen) they loved: and in whom, though they (then) saw him not, yet believing, they rejoiced with joy unspeakable and full of glory! I say, now to see him, and so to see him, as to have a full sight of his unveiled face, shining more gloriously than ten thousand Suns at Noon-day! Once more, So to see him, as never to lose the sight of him to all Eternity: How will this transport their Souls with unspeakable ecstasies of joy, which will cause them to break forth into Triumphant Hymns, yea, and to call to their now-fellow Angels, ⟨p. 124⟩to help them with their Celestial Hallelujahs?
