31.12.10

The King's Return

Sing now, ye people of the Tower of [the Sun],
for the Realm of Sauron is ended for ever,
   and the Dark Tower is thrown down.


Sing and rejoice, ye people of the Tower of Guard,
for your watch hath not been in vain,
and the Black Gate is broken,
and your King hath passed through,
   and he is victorious.


Sing and be glad, all ye children of the West,
for your King shall come again,
and he shall dwell among you
   all the days of your life.


And the Tree that was wither shall be renewed,
and he shall plant it in the high places,
   and the City shall be blessed.


Sing all ye people!


{the tiding of the Eagle, from Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien}


And glorious shall be that day! For as Ioreth of Gondor said, "The hands of the king are the hands of a healer, and so shall the rightful king be known."

"But to you who fear My name,
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings..."
{Malachi 4:2a}

"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.
Then He who sat on the throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new.'"
{Revelation 21:4-5a}

"And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. And on either side of the river was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
{Revelation 22:1-2}
