Peace is the first thing the angels sang.
Time's waters will not ebb nor stay.
And help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.
When you find yourself overpowered, as it were, by melancholy, the best way is to go out and do something.
Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear, It is not night if thou be near. Oh, may no earthborn cloud arise To hide thee from thy servant's eyes.
Blest are the pure in heart, for they shall see our God. The secret of the Lord is theirs; Their soul is Christ's abode.
