Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young – even Your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they will still be praising You. Selah Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.” Psalm 84:1-5.

To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood…” Revelation 1:4-5.
