Famous quotes containing the word herbert:

“My tender age in sorrow did begin:
And still with sicknesses and shame
Thou did’st so punish sin,
That I became
Most thin.
With Thee
Let me combine
And feel this day Thy victory;”

Thy hands made both, and I am there:
Thy power and love, my love and trust
Make one place ev’rywhere.”

Ties the whole frame, is Love
And Charitie.”
