House of Mourning

Watch!

The Family has entered into the house of mourning.

The house that was once was the house of feasting.

A special meal is prepared for the children there.

Listen!

What songs do you hear?  Are these the songs of fools?

No! Listen.

Listen, friend.

The Gatherer sings, “There is evening and morning, an Eternal Day.” 

For his Bride has entered into the outer chamber.

Look!

The sun stands still.

The world stops at Salvation’s command,

“Sun, stand still!”

And his Testimony,

“See! This, I have done!”

For this Purpose,

“That you may see Justice done!”

He is faithful to his Promise,

“I am, I redeem. I will be!”

So friend, be afraid!

Yes, be afraid, dear friend,

For the Lord is near and the Day of Devotion is long.

Yes, the Day he has set aside, that day…

That day is long

For us.

But now, behold!

The inner chamber is lit.

The dark drape draws back and the sky grows thin.

Now, friend, behold!

Now, Bride, behold!

Behold… the Glory of God

Approaches.
