Latter-Day Psalms
Thy soul shall respond as it were a harp answering to the wind. Thy soul shall be musical according to her capacity.
There shall no more of the harmony enter thee than thou canst bear; but thou shalt feel glory round about thee.
Thou shalt hear lamentation as of a passionate sorrow, that mourneth in all the regions of heaven;
The sorrow in which beauty shall be brought forth; the terror of the darkness where there shall be light.
Thou shalt hear triumph as of one glorying in his death; the triumph of spirit fulfilled.
Thou shalt hear, as it were a melody exceeding sweet, the truth of that which thou callest love, when thou feelest it a little and art exalted.
But what is thy loving to the loving of the heavens, whereby they are made one?
Whereby the past liveth in the future; whereby the future and the past are one.
The voice of Heaven is one voice, singing a song of praise.
The voice of Heaven is one voice, singing a song of love.
Heaven prepareth for her beloved. The beloved of Heaven is God.
There shall no more of the harmony enter thee than thou canst bear; but thou shalt feel glory round about thee.
Thou shalt hear lamentation as of a passionate sorrow, that mourneth in all the regions of heaven;
The sorrow in which beauty shall be brought forth; the terror of the darkness where there shall be light.
Thou shalt hear triumph as of one glorying in his death; the triumph of spirit fulfilled.
Thou shalt hear, as it were a melody exceeding sweet, the truth of that which thou callest love, when thou feelest it a little and art exalted.
But what is thy loving to the loving of the heavens, whereby they are made one?
Whereby the past liveth in the future; whereby the future and the past are one.
The voice of Heaven is one voice, singing a song of praise.
The voice of Heaven is one voice, singing a song of love.
Heaven prepareth for her beloved. The beloved of Heaven is God.
