Henry Alford

“Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest-home: all is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.”

“Ten thousand times ten thousand in sparkling raiment bright, the armies of the ransomed saints throng up the steeps of light.”

“Every day is a little life: and our whole life is but a day repeated.”

“Be not afraid to pray; to pray is right. Pray, if thou canst, with hope; but ever pray, though hope be weak or sick with long delay; pray in the darkness, if there be no light.”

“The Christian life is not a vacation, but a vocation.”

“I know not what may befall me: God hangs a mist o'er my eyes; And thus, each step of my onward path, He makes new scenes to arise; And every joy He sends me, comes as a sweet and glad surprise.”
