“A constant and joyous readiness at the call of God to depart hence [to heaven], with a cheerful patience to continue here [on earth] during His pleasure, is the most perfect and blessed temper that a Christian can arrive at. It gives God the highest glory and keeps the soul in sweetest peace.”
― Isaac Watts, The World to Come

“The saints in this life have God near them in all their trials, as a Father and Friend, to uphold, to comfort, to sanctify, though they see Him but darkly through a glass, and behold but little of His power and glory.”
― Isaac Watts, The World to Come

“...it is a matter of pleasing wonder that persons of all characters should have been united in one faith, and persuaded to trust in the same Saviour, and embrace the same salvation. For some of all sorts shall stand in that blessed assembly. Then it shall be a fruitful spring of wonder and glory that men of various nations and ages, of different tempers, capacities, and interests, of contrary educations, and contrary prejudices, should believe in one Gospel, and trust in the one Deliverer, from Hell and death. That the sprightly, the studious and the stupid, the wise and the foolish, should relish and rejoice in the same sublime truths...”
― Isaac Watts, The World to Come
