Nahum Tate quotes

While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. (Nahum Tate)
And silence their mourning With vows of returning But never intending to visit them more. No never, no never, intending to visit them more. View quote
Nahum Tate
When I am laid, am laid in earth, May my wrongs create No trouble, no trouble in thy breast; Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate. Remember me, but ah! forget my fate. View quote
Nahum Tate
For sorrow is our joy, And joy our greatest sorrow. Elissa dies tonight, And Carthage flames tomorrow. View quote
