Swallowed up in joy


Now the joy of Ammon was so great even that he was full; yea, he was swallowed up in the joy of his God, even to the exhausting of his strength; and he fell again to the earth.
Alma 27:17

What joy can match the joy of God,
what pleasures can compete?
This happiness available 
to men is so complete!
*
Tis not hallucination
nor synthetic ecstasy;
but spirit speaks to spirit
til their fullness does agree.
*
Such joy as Alma speaks of
may not be mine here on earth;
but I believe a time will come
when I am through with dearth.
