Quotes

  • Christ whose glory fills the skies,Christ, the true, the only light,Sun of Righteousness, arise,Triumph o'er the shades of night;Day-spring from on high, be near,Day-star in my heart appear.
  • Rock of Ages, cleft for me,Let me hide myself in Thee. Let the Water and the Blood, From thy riven Side which flow'd, Be of Sin the double Cure, Cleanse me from its Guilt and Pow'r.
  • Not the labors of my hands Can fulfill thy Law's demands: Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for Sin could not atone: Thou must save, and Thou alone!
  • Nothing in my hand I bring,Simply to thy Cross I cling;Naked, come to Thee for Dress,Helpless, look to Thee for grace;Vile, I to the fountain fly,Wash me, Saviour, or I die!
