Reginald Heber quotes

Remember that every guilty compliance with the humors of the world, every sinful indulgence of our own passions, is laying up cares and fears for the hour of darkness; and that the remembrance of ill-spent time will strew our sick-bed with thorns, and rack our sinking spirits with despair. (Reginald Heber)

The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone.

Reginald Heber

Eternity has no gray hairs! The flowers fade, the heart withers, man grows old and dies, the world lies down in the sepulchre of ages, but time writes no wrinkles on the brow of Eternity.

Reginald Heber

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid. Star of the east the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Reginald Heber

With drooping bells of clearest blue Thou didst attract my childish view, Almost resembling The azure butterflies that flew Where on the heath thy blossoms grew So lightly trembling.

Reginald Heber

We deny our Lord whenever, like Demas, we through love of this present world forsake the course of duty which Christ has plainly pointed out to us.

Reginald Heber

By cool Siloam's shady rill How sweet the lily grows!

Reginald Heber

From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand. From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain.

Reginald Heber

Then on! then on! where duty leads, My course be onward still.

Reginald Heber

No hammers fell, no ponderous axes rung; Like some tall palm the mystic fabric sprung. Majestic silence!

Reginald Heber

Thus heavenly hope is all serene, But earthly hope, how bright soe'er, Still fluctuates o'er this changing scene, As false and fleeting as 't is fair. (Reginald Heber)

Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.

Reginald Heber

The Son of God goes forth to war,A kingly crown to gain;His blood red banner streams afar:Who follows in His train?Who best can drink his cup of woe,Triumphant over pain,Who patient bears his cross below,He follows in His train.

Reginald Heber

Before, beside us, and above The firefly lights his lamp of love.

Reginald Heber

Failed the bright promise of your early day?

Reginald Heber

What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile.

Reginald Heber

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee: Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty! God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity.

Reginald Heber

Beneath our feet and o'er our head Is equal warning given: Beneath us lie the countless dead, Above us is the heaven! Death rides on every passing breeze, And lurks in every flower; Each season has its own disease, Its peril every hour.

Reginald Heber

Thou art gone to the grave; but we will not deplore thee, Though sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb.

Reginald Heber

I see them on their winding way, About their ranks the moonbeams play.
