Thy works, not mine, O Christ, Speak gladness to this heart;
They tell me all is done; They bid my fear depart.
To whom, save thee, Who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
— Horatius Bonar (1808-1889)
Other quotes by Horatius Bonar
Weak Christians
The weak Christian is willing to live and patient to die; but the strong, patient to live and willing to die.
— John Boys (1571–1625)
Christian Life
The whole life of a Christian should be nothing but praises and thanks to God; we should neither eat nor sleep, but eat to God and sleep to God and work to God and talk to God, do all to His glory and praise.
— Richard Sibbes (1577–1635)
What Do We Owe Him?
If all that I am and have be from Him, I cannot surely owe Him less than all.
— John Howe (1630-1705)
Contentment
If we do but seriously believe the truth of the gospel, and the truth of the life to come, the best things of this world will seem of small moment; and the worst things this world can inflict will seem but of small moment; and the worst things this world can inflict will appear too light to provoke us to impatience or discontent. He that hath everlasting glory in prospect, will have a mind full of contentment in the darkest condition here.
— Sir Matthew Hale (1600-1675)
