Quotes My Master and my Lord!I long to do some work, some work for Thee;I long to bring some lowly gift of loveFor all Thy love to me.

Thou wilt draw nigh!Father — it is no dream that Thou art near —No dream that, in my sin and misery,I may look up to Thee,—May hide beneath the shadow of Thy wings,From all the restlessness of outward things,And from my own heart's self-accusing fears —For Thou art nigh. Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 432. Like dew on drooping blossoms,Like breath from Holy place,Laden with health and healing,Come Thy deep words of grace:"Thy strength is all in leaningOn One who fights for thee;Thine is the helpless clinging,And mine the victory." Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 595. External Links Category:1872 deaths Category:Authors Category:Women born in the 19th century
