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. |
