James Montgomery
Scottish Poet
"Faith is the flame that lifts the sacrifice to heaven."
"Time is Eternity begun."
"Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire uttered and expressed, the motion of a hidden fire that trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, the falling of a tear, the upward glancing of an eye, when none but God are near. Prayer is the simplest form of speech that infant lips can try, prayer, the sublimest strains that reach the Majesty on high."
"Remembered joys are never past; at once the fountain, stream, and sea, they were, they are, they yet shall be."
"Eternity: a moment standing still for ever. "
