The Light of Eternity

“The things that are seen (are) for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.”
— 2 Cor. 4:18 (New Translation).

There all's unsullied light;
My heart lets in its rays:
And heavenly light
Makes all things bright
Seen in that blissful gaze.

“I feel … more than ever that all is vanity, but what is for ever. We all know it, but how foolish all else will seem when we meet the blessed Lord.”
