Psalms 110:3. Thy people shall be willing-
They shall be willingness itself-
Psalms 110:3. In the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
That is, as soon as the ascended Christ began his reign in heaven, and the power of his Church begin to be felt on earth, there was a willing people coming forward, in the beauty of holiness, like priests clad in their sacred robes. Such the early Christians truly were; and they were as numerous, and as refreshing, and as bright to the world as the sparkling dew of the morning. Then, indeed, had Christ the dew of his youth most clearly manifested. Multitudes of young hearts yielded to him, and his Church on earth seemed to have had a new birthday when he ascended up on high, and led captivity captive.
