17. And let the beauty of the Lordour God be upon us. Even upon us who must not
see thy glory in the land of Canaan; it will suffice us if in our characters
the holiness of God is reflected, and if over all our camp the lovely
excellencies of our God cast a sacred beauty. Sanctification should be the
daily object of our petitions. And establish thou the work of our hands uponus; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. Let what we do be done in
truth, and last when we are in the grave; may the work of the present
generation minister permanently to the building up of the nation. We come and
go, but the Lord’s work abides. We are content to die, so long as Jesus lives
and his kingdom grows.
