Take a saint, and put him into any condition, and he knows how to rejoice in the Lord.
— Walter Cradock
Joy
The more we enjoy of God, the more we are ravished with delight.
— Thomas Watson
Joy
The reason why many poor souls have so little heat of joy in their hearts, is that they have so little light of Gospel knowledge in their mind. The further a soul stands from the light of truth, the further he must needs be from the heat of comfort.
— William Gurnall
Laughter
It is pleasing to the dear God whenever thou rejoicest or laughest from the bottom of thy heart.
— Martin Luther
Good Christian Men, Rejoice!
Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Peace! Peace!
Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one, and calls you all,
To gain His everlasting hall:
Christ was born to save! Christ was born to save!
— Heinrich Suso
