We bless the Lord, who hath showed us light, and that the light we see is the Lord’s; that we see one more of the days of the Son of man, a day to be spent in thy courts, which is better than a thousand elsewhere. Ps 118:27. Luke 17:22. Ps 84:10.

We thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that the things which were hid from the wise and prudent are revealed unto us babes, even so, Father, because it seemed good in thine eyes. That our eyes see, and our ears hear, that which many prophets and kings desired to see, desired to hear, and might not; that life and immortality are brought to light by the gospel. Luke 10:21–24. 2 Tim 1:10.
