This Is The Most Joyful Day That

Farewell All Relations And Friends In Christ; Farewell Acquaintances And All Earthly Enjoyments; Farewell Reading And Preaching, Praying And Believing, Wanderings, Reproaches, And Sufferings.

And For Myself, I Think For The Present He Is Calling Me To Another Land; But How Long Shall Be My Abode, Or What Employment He Has For Me There, I Know Not, For I Cannot Think He Is Taking Me There To Live And Lurk Only.

Fear Not; And The God Of Mercies Grant A Full Gale And A Fair Entry Into His Kingdom, Which May Carry Sweetly And Swiftly Over The Bar, That You Find Not The Rub Of Death.

I Wish There Were More True Conversion, And Then There Would Not Be So Much Backsliding, And, For Fear Of Suffering, Living At Ease, When There Are So Few To Contend For Christ And His Cause.

And For Yourself, Whatever There Has Been Either Of Sin Or Duty, Remember The One And Forget The Other, And Betake Yourself Wholly To The Mercy Of God And The Merit Of Christ.
