Quotes

• Blest is my lot whate'er befall;
  What can disturb me, who appall,
  While, as my strength, my rock, my all,
  Saviour! I cling to Thee?
  • Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 101.

• Just as I am — Thou wilt receive,
  Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
  Because Thy promise I believe,
  O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
  • Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 231.

• Renew my will from day to day,
  Blend it with Thine, and take away
  All that now makes it hard to say,
  "Thy will be done."
