Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all, heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for today is holy to our Lord. Don’t be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.”
This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
I feel I have adequate cause to be happy, and I will be happy.
Now I know hope and joy.
Now I rejoice in the consciousness that I can think, act and attain heaven.
As life wears on the love of husband or wife, of friends and of children, becomes the great solace and delight of age.
Even if we are alone, we store up our enjoyment in hope of sharing it hereafter with those we love.
