Glad tidings! The light of the Sun of Truth hath shed its radiance from the East!
Glad tidings! The heavenly powers are set in motion!
Glad tidings! The powers of the earth are quaking!
Glad tidings! The sun of religious imitation is clouded!
Glad tidings! The moon of superstition is eclipsed!
Glad tidings! The stars of worldly glory have fallen!
Glad tidings! The Spirit of God and the hosts of the Kingdom
are rushing in!
Glad tidings! The angels of heaven have scattered throughout
all regions!
Glad tidings! The breaths of the Holy Spirit have been
wafted!
Glad tidings! The morn of joyful tidings hath dawned!
Glad tidings! The Sun of Truth hath shone forth!
