Billings Text
Sing praises to the Lord,
O ye saints of his,

For his wrath endures for a moment,
And in his favor is life forever more.
Heaviness may endure for a night,
But joy cometh in the morning.

 

Psalm 30:4-5 (King James Version)
Sing unto the Lord,
O ye saints of his,
And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
For his anger endureth but a moment;
In his favor is life:
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy cometh in the morning.
