O Lord, Lord of hosts! those who acknowledge You shall be blessed in the paradise of their God, upon Mount Zion, in the heavenly Jerusalem, in the church of the living God, in the assembly of the righteous whose names are written in heaven. They are released from hell, sin, the devil and death, and they serve before You in peace and joy of heart through life. They sleep without fear for You are their strength and shield. They rest under the shadow of Your wings for they are Yours. They fear not for You warm them with the beams of Your love. They do not hunger for You feed them with the bread of life. They do not thirst for You give them to drink of the waters of Your Holy Spirit.

They do not want for You are their treasure and their kingdom. They dwell in the house of Your peace, in the tabernacles of righteousness, and in sure peace. They have pleasure in Your law and speak of Your word day and night among all the people. They wash their souls in the clear waters of Your truth. They view their consciences in the clear mirror of Your wisdom. Their thoughts are upright, their words are words of grace and are seasoned with salt. Their works are faithful and true. The light of their piety shines around them. What they seek they find. What they desire they obtain. Their souls dwell in the fullness of Your goodness. The dew of Your grace has been sprinkled on them.


The soil of their consciences bears wine and oil without measure although they must endure in their flesh for a time much misery, suffering and trouble. Yet they know well that the way of the cross is the way of life. They are not ashamed of the way of the cross and the weapons of the Lord. They patiently go with Christ to the conflict and contend bravely until they have reached the boundary of life and have received the crown. Nothing can hinder them since they have become partakers of Your Spirit and have tasted of Your sweetness. They neither waver nor turn aside. Their house stands firmly upon a rock. They are as the pillars of the holy temple. They have eaten of Your hidden manna. O Lord, to You be praise! Your fear abides continually before their eyes. They walk in Your way; therefore their souls shall be blessed and their seed, if born of the Holy Spirit and word, will enjoy the land of everlasting life where You and Your chosen shall reign in endless glory.
