Healing Tent Evangelist

Famous quotes containing the words healing, tent and/or evangelist:

    Most blest believer he!
    Who in that land of darkness and blind eyes
    Thy long-expected healing wings could see,
    When thou didst rise,
    And what can never more be done
    Did at midnight speak with the Sun!
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    When I from black and he from white cloud free,
    And round the tent of Godlike lambs we joy,

    I’ll shade him from the heat till he can bear
    To lean in joy upon our father’s knee;
    And then I’ll stand and stroke his silver hair,
    And be like him, and he will then love me.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Kipling, the grandson of a Methodist preacher, reveals the tin-pot evangelist with increasing clarity as youth and its ribaldries pass away and he falls back upon his fundamentals.
