They rest not day and night
Rev. 4:8
O blessed rest! When we rest not day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!” When we shall rest from sin, but not from worship; from suffering and sorrow, but not from joy! O blessed day, when I shall rest with God. When I shall rest in knowing. Loving, rejoicing, and praise when my perfect soul and body shall together perfectly enjoy the most perfect God. When God, who is love itself, shall perfectly love me, and rest in His love to me, and I shall rest in my love to Him; when He shall rejoice over me with joy, and joy over me with singing, and I shall rejoice in Him!
