O Bright And Blessèd Scenes

And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb. And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it. And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there. Revelation 21:22-25

To an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in [the] heavens for you, 1 Peter 1:4
