Dear Lord and Father of mankind, Forgive our foolish ways.
More Quotes from John Greenleaf Whittier:
I pray for faith, I long to trust I listen with my heart, and hear A Voice without a sound 'Be just, Be true, be merciful, revere The Word within thee God is near 'A light to sky and earth unknown Pales all their lights a mightier force Than theirs the powers of Nature own, And, to its goal as at its source, His Spirit moves the Universe. 'Believe and trust. Through stars and suns, Through life and death, through soul and sense, His wise, paternal purpose runs The darkness of His providence Is star-lit with benign intents.' O joy supreme I know the Voice Like none beside on earth or sea Yea, more, O soul of mine, rejoice, By all that He requires of me, I know what God himself must be.... I fear no more. The clouded face Of Nature smiles through all her things Of time and space and sense I trace The moving of the Spirits wings, And hear the song of hope she sings.John Greenleaf Whittier
Our fellow-countrymen in chains Slaves - in a land of light and law Slaves - crouching on the very plains Where rolled the storms of Freedom's war.
John Greenleaf Whittier
Through this broad street, restless ever, Ebbs and flows a human tide, Wave on wave a living river; Wealth and fashion side by side; Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.
John Greenleaf Whittier
No longer forward nor behind I look in hope or fear But grateful, take the good I find, the best of now and here.
John Greenleaf Whittier
For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'.
