The Treasury of David, Vol. 2 (1870)

With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought. Joy becomes a marriage feast. What joy will that be which will be seen at the feasts of paradise when all the redeemed shall be brought home! Gladness in the saints themselves, and rejoicing from the angels shall make the halls of the New Jerusalem ring again with shoutings. They shall enter into the King's palace. Their peaceful abodes shall be where Jesus the King reigns in state for ever. They shall not be shut out but shut in. Rights of free entrance into the holiest of all shall be accorded them.

All glorious is the princess

on Psalms 45:13-15

The princess is all glorious in her chamber, her gown embroidered with gold. She is led to the king in colorful garments, her virgin companions with her, and the company enters the palace with joy and gladness. Augustine reads her beauty as given to her.
