Blessed be God, he hath been with me all the day, of a truth; hath enabled me to be diligent, and aim at faithfulness. Be of good cheer, O my soul, for the God that hath brought thee thus far on thy journey toward thy eternal home, through this dark, this howling wilderness, will still direct, and protect thee. He will not fail, nor forsake thee, all the days of thy life; only be thou faithful unto death, and he will give thee a crown of life. Hold out, faith and patience, a little longer, and the combat will be over forever! Sin, accursed sin, shall no more separate between thee and thy God; never hide his glorious face from thee; never cause thee to grieve him, nor wound thyself.
