- He sendeth sun, he sendeth shower,
Alike they’re needful to the flower;
And joys and tears alike are sent
To give the soul fit nourishment.
As comes to me or cloud or sun,
Father! thy will, not mine, be done.- "He sendeth Sun, he sendeth Shower".
- Once have a priest for enemy, good bye
To peace.- Vivia Perpetua, Act iii. Sc. ii.
[edit] Nearer, my God, to Thee
- Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
- Nearer, my God, to Thee!
Nearer to Thee!
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee!
Nearer to Thee!
