Especially, O my Soul, when the day of Death was a parting day, the day of the Resurrection will be a meeting day. Thou and thine at Death did part, and that did fill ⟨p. 233⟩thy Heart with sorrow, but then thou and thine shall meet again, and never part. Thou and thine! that's not all, thou and thine shall meet the Lord in the Air. Wonderful! Bodies but now in the bottom of the Grave, anon the same mounting up into the Air; there to be owned, acknowledged, and openly acquitted, and from thence to go along with their Lord Redeemer into the highest Heavens, to be for ever with the Lord. Once in the Grave, and after that with the Lord! A long time in the Grave, and after that long time is out, and over, be with the Lord for ever, which never will be out, and over! O blessed Day! O desirable Day! Lord when shall it be? When shall it come? Dear Jesus! gather in the chosen of the Father effectually, all the number that is ordained to be with thee for ever, and then come, yea come quickly, that those of thine that are sleeping in their Graves may awake, and meet thee, and be with the Lord for ever.
