In hac fide, in hac spe, in hac caritáte:
In this faith, a faith whose seeds you planted in my heart, O loving Lord,
let me take my stand forever,
let it shape my life, day by day, in darkness or light,
until at last I stand where that faith is sight,
stripped of all my night.
In this hope, a hope you breathe into hot fire by the touch of your Spirit, O Lord,
let me take my comfort forever,
let it breathe your peace into my steps, day by day, in darkness or light,
until at last I stand, where my hope is proved real,
pure joy in your sight.
In this love, a love you offered by your death, hard and hot, O Lord of my life,
let me take my shelter forever,
let me, so well loved, share that love, day by day, in darkness or light
Until at last I stand, where my love is fulfilled,
dressed in your wedding robe of sparkling white.
In hac fide, in hac spe, in hac caritáte, vívere et mori státuo! Amen.
(note: In hac fide, in hac spe, in hac caritate, vivere et mori statuo means in this faith, in this hope in this love, I intend to live and die)
BTTT
"...until at last I stand where that faith is sight..."
Amen.
Lovely Imagery, and my Heart can't Wait for that Day, through our Savior's Grace.
'On the holy mountain
Stands the city founded by the Lord.
He loves the city of Jerusalem
More than any other city in Israel.
O city of God,
What glorious things are said of you!
I will count Egypt and Babylon
Among those who know me—
Also Philistia and Tyre,
And even distant Ethiopia.
They have all become
Citizens of Jerusalem!
Regarding Jerusalem
It will be said,
“Everyone enjoys the rights
Of citizenship there.”
And the Most High
Will personally bless this city.
When the Lord registers the nations,
He will say,
“They have all become
Citizens of Jerusalem.” (Ps.87)
The people will play flutes and sing,
“The source of my life
Springs from Jerusalem!”'
Yes, our Master, how we Long for that City of Light! This World Becomes Wearisome, but the World that Awaits will Banish All Pain. Our Jesus Awaits; His Promises are All True. "I will Betroth thee Unto Me Forever." (Hos.2:19) Hasten that Day, our God, when the Saints of All Time will Give Thee Praise. Our Lord of Majesty, our Shepherd-King, Receive the Love and Honor from our Hearts. "I will Praise You, my God and King, and Bless Your Name Each Day and Forever." (Ps.145:1) In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we Worship You, King Jesus, amen.
