Lord Godolphin

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or godolphin:

    Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
    For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
    For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory:
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm LXXXIV (l. LXXXIV, 9–11)

    Lord, when the wise men came from far,
    Led to thy cradle by a star,
    Then did the shepherds too rejoice,
    Instructed by thy angel’s voice.
    Blest were the wise men in their skill,
    And shepherds in their harmless will.
    —Sidney Godolphin (1610–1693)
