Thy way is in the sea and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice Our flesh shall rest in hope. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor it is raised in glory This corruptible must put on Incorruption and this mortal shall put on immortality Then shall be brought to pass the saying, Death is swallowed up in victory.
