When quiet in my house I sit,
Thy book be my companion still;
My joy thy sayings to repeat,
Talk o’er the records of thy will,
And search the oracles divine,
Till every heartfelt word be mine.
Charles Wesley.
 
The Bible is a book of faith,
A book of doctrine,
And a book of religion,
Of especial revelation from God.
Daniel Webster.
 
And weary seekers of the best,
We come back laden from our quest,
To find that all the sages said—
Is in the Book our mothers read.
Whittier.
