My Soul was Very Blessed this Day to Read More Verses from Madame de la Mothe Guion, who Made Such an Impression Upon our Brother William Cowper that he Translated her French Poems into the English Language for us. It is Glorious, All the Manifold Ways our Christ Works through His Body Upon Earth to Bless His Saints!
She Wrote these Verses while Imprisoned in the Bastille for her Faith in our Savior-King:
...Nor exile I nor prison fear;
Love makes my courage great;
I find a Saviour every where,
His grace in every state.
Nor castle walls, nor dungeons deep,
Exclude his quickening beams;
There I can sit, and sing, and weep,
And dwell on heavenly themes.
There sorrow, for his sake, is found
A joy beyond compare;
There no presumptuous thoughts abound,
No pride can enter there.
A Saviour doubles all my joys,
And sweetens all my pains,
His strength in my defence employs,
Consoles me and sustains.
Thank You, our Holy One, for Your Every Quickening Grace. Our Life, our Master, our Lord, how we Love to Exalt Thy Sweet Name. You are our Joy and our Strength, our Health and our Peace, the Light that Leads us to our Home. For Your Glory we Live, to Your Praise we Sing; You are our Never-Failing, Faithful God. We Love You, we Worship You, and our Eyes are Upon the Eastern Skies. Come and Take us to be with Thee, our Loving Lord. In our Jesus' Name, be Adored and Loved Forever, amen.
Thank you so much for this sharing, dear Kitty Mittens. Amen!
An inspiration for all times...
With bolstered faith in Our Lord
