About "One Eternal Day"

The title, "One Eternal Day," is from the hymn "On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand" [1787] by Samuel Stennett, a prominent English Sabbatarian Baptist. A verse from that hymn refers to the "Sabbath rest" believers will enjoy in the "promised land":
O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.
"One Eternal Day" will usually call attention to the work of others. This is my chance to pass along things that I enjoyed, profited from, or that say well what I wish I'd said.
