Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

Hans Holbein the Younger, The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb (detail), c. 1520-22

As previously mentioned, this is one of my favorite things ever.
