Poet
Annie Johnson Flint
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater, / He sendeth more strength when the labours increase; / To added afflictions He addeth His mercy, / To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
Ruth Graham
"Down through the years, I turned to the Bible and found in it all that I needed."
T.S. Eliot
"Be not too curious of Good and Evil; Seek not to count the future waves of Time; But be ye satisfied that you have light, Enough to take your step and find your foothold."
Christina Rossetti
"What can I give Him, / Poor as I am? — / If I were a Shepherd / I would bring a lamb; / If I were a Wise Man / I would do my part, — / Yet what I can I give Him, — / Give my heart.”
William Wordsworth
"Listening within his Temple see his sword/Unsheathed in wrath to strike the offender’s head/Thy own, if sorrow for thy sin be dead,/Guilt unrepented, pardon unimplored."
Samuel Wesley
"The Prophets great Inspirer only praise. / Yet tho to God alone the Praise belong, / With him and thee we share the pleasing Song. / Thus Aaron Incense on its Altar laid, / And, while attending Israel bow'd and pray'd; / The balmy Steams, for Heav'n alone prepar'd, / The Priest, the People, and the Godhead shar'd."
Isaac Watts
"Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing..."
Anne Bradstreet
"This City pure is not for thee, / For things unclean there shall not be. / If I of Heav'n may have my fill, / Take thou the world, and all that will."
George Herbert
"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven."
