(1 - 2 of 2)Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866 We are born knowing nothing and with much striving we learn more
Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866 We are born knowing nothing and with much striving we learn but a little; yet all the while we are bound by laws that hearken to no plea of ignorance, and measure out their rewards and punishments with calm indifference. In such a state, humility is the virtue of men, and their only defense; to walk humbly with God, never doubting, whatever befall, that His will is good, and that His law is right.
Hail, guest, we ask not what thou art;
If friend, we greet thee, hand and heart;
If more
Hail, guest, we ask not what thou art;
If friend, we greet thee, hand and heart;
If stranger, such no longer be;
If foe, our love shall conquer thee.
