THEY SERVE ON EARTH AND SING IN HEAVEN.
July 18.
And the angel said: Behold thou shalt be dumb and not able to speak, until the day
that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my works.—Luke 1:20.
ALL that we know of the angels is, that they serve on earth
and sing in heaven. All the idea that man can form of the
ways of Providence, and of the employment of angels and spirits,
must ever fall short of the reality; but still it is right to think
of them. What can have a more exalting influence on the earthly
life than to make ourselves, in these first days of our existence,
conversant with the lives of the blessed—with the happy spirits
whose society we shall hereafter enjoy? We should accustom
ourselves to consider the spirits of heaven always around us,
observing all our steps, and witnessing our most secret actions.
Whoever has become accustomed to this idea will find the most
solitary place peopled with the best society.—Martin Luther.
I have talked much with angels about innocence, and have been
told that innocence is the being of all good and that good is therefore
so far good as it has innocence in it, consequently that wisdom
is so far wisdom as it partakes of innocence.
—Swedenborg.
Hark ! hark my soul ! Angelic songs are swelling
O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-beat shore;
. How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling
Of that new life when sin shall be no more!
Angels of Jesus, angels of Light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. —Faber. |
