THE HEAVENLY SABBATH⁶²

And then after all these things the soul rests peacefully in God: "If thou

call the Sabbath delightful . . . then shalt thou be delighted in the

Lord,"⁶³ The Saints gave up everything to possess this rest, "for it is a

pearl of great price which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof

goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field."⁶⁴ This rest in

truth is eternal life and heavenly joy: "This is my rest for ever and ever;

here will I dwell, for I have chosen it."⁶⁵ And to this rest may the Lord

bring us all!
