Scripture  

Psalm 30:5 (NRSV)  

For His anger is but for a moment;  

His favor is for a lifetime.  

Weeping may linger for the night,  

but joy comes with the morning.

Refrain  

Even here, joy is still possible.

Poem  

Frederick Buechner, from Secrets in the Dark

“Joy is home.  

And I think the reason we sometimes have the feeling that it is not of this world  

is that it’s not.  

But it is a home we remember,  

and it’s a home that remembers us.  

Joy is where the whole thing began,  

and where we will all return in the end.”
