The Lengthening of Days, a Meditation

Joseph Farquharson   Glow'd with tints of evening hours

While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease.

Numbers 8:22

Vincent Van Gogh   Enclosed Field with Rising Sun

  
In the heavens God has set a tabernacle for the sun,
 Which is like a bridegroom 
coming out of his chamber,
         And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
         And its circuit to the other end;
         And there is nothing hidden from its heat. 

Psalm 19:4-6
