| | The Day Breaking, Octavius Winslow | The Reformed Reader |
 | | O glorious dawn is this, my reader, if now for the first time in your life, the day-break of grace has come, and the shadows of ignorance and guilt are fleeing away before the advancing light of Jesus in your soul. |
 | | O assure me that there will be no more night of sin in heaven, and you have presented to my eye such a picture of its bliss, as tints the clouds of my dreary pilgrimage with the first dawn of its golden beams, and inspires my heart with yearnings to be there. |
 | | O blessed day now opening upon his view, as shadow after shadow is dispersed, revealing the wall of sapphire, and the gate of pearl, and the jasper throne, and him who sits upon it, of the New Jerusalem, all inviting and beckoning him away. |
