419. Just as celestial things are the holy things of love and the goods deriving from it, so spiritual things are the truths and goods of faith, for faith does indeed entail understanding not only what is true but also what is good. Cognitions of faith embrace them both; but being such as faith teaches is something celestial. Because faith embraces both, both are meant by the two instruments, the harp and the organ. The harp, as is well known, is a stringed instrument, and so means spiritual truth, while the organ, being an instrument midway between a stringed instrument and one that is blown, means spiritual good.

3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, To your tents.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
