One Eternal Day

"O’er all those wide extended plains / Shines one eternal day;
     "There God the Son forever reigns / And scatters night away."

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 rest believers will enjoy in the "promised land."

"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.

I am a Baptist, a member of a church affiliated with Seventh Day Baptists, and some posts will reflect that identification.

“He who marries the spirit of the age will soon find himself a widower.” Dean Inge

"I thought we had an honest man upon the Road, and therefore should have his Company by and by." "If you thought not amiss" said Standfast "how happy am I, but if I be not as I should, I alone must bear it."
