Religion what treasure untold resides in that heavenly word
More Quotes from William Cowper:
There is in souls a sympathy with sounds And as the mind is pitch'd, the ear is pleased With melting airs or martial, brisk, or grave Some chord in unison with what we hear Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies.William Cowper
A patriot's blood,Well spent in such a strife, may earn indeed,And for a time ensure to his loved land,The sweets of liberty and equal lawsBut martyrs struggle for a brighter prize,And win it with more pain. Their blood is shedIn confirmation of the noblest claim --Our claim to feed upon immortal truth,To walk with God, to be divinely free,To soar, and to anticipate the skies.Yet few remember them.
William Cowper

William Cowper
