John Keble quotes

The deeds we do, the words we say,
Into still air they seem to fleet;
We count them ever past;
But they shall last -
In the dread judgment they
And we shall meet. (John Keble)

Love masters agony; the soul that seemed Forsaken feels her present God again And in her Father's arms Contented dies away.

John Keble

John Keble

Abide with me from morn til eve, For without Thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die.

John Keble

The trivial round, the common task, Would furnish all we ought to ask.

John Keble

Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.

John Keble

Peace is the first thing the angels sang.

John Keble

And help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.

John Keble

T is sweet, as year by year we lose Friends out of sight, in faith to muse How grows in Paradise our store.

John Keble

As fire kindled by fire, so is the poet's mind kindled by contact with a brother poet.
