Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
