How can we hope to have free conversation with glorious beings, which are so unlike to ourselves as God, and Christ, and angels are unlike to the sinful children of men! How can we imagine ourselves to be fit company for such pure and perfect beings, beauteous, and shining in holiness, while we are defiled with the iniquities of our natures and ever falling into new guilt and pollution! Happy souls, who can say though grace, I have walked in the light as God is in the light; and I trust, O Father, I shall dwell forever with Thee there! I have been a follower of the Lamb through the thorny and rugged passages of this wilderness, and I humbly hope I shall sit with Thee, O Jesus, upon a throne glorious and holy. I have been a companion of them who have finished the Christian race, who have fought the good fight, and obtained the victory; and I trust I shall have a name and a place among all you holy ones, who have fought and overcome. Oh, for a heart and a tongue furnished for such appeals to all the blessed inhabitants of paradise, the possessors of those mansions on high! 

The World To Come - Isaac Watts
