Thou Art Merciful

Famous quotes containing the words thou art, thou, art and/or merciful:

    The harbingers are come. See, see their mark:
    White is their color, and behold my head.

    Those sparkling notions, which therein were bred?
    Must dullness turn me to a clod?
    Yet have they left me, Thou art still my God.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Art thou gone in haste?
    I’ll not forsake thee!
    Runn’st thou ne’er so fast,
    I’ll o’ertake thee!
    John Webster (c. 1580–1638)

    Where art thou, my beloved Son,
    Where art thou, worse to me than dead?
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    God of justice, God of mercy,
    Make us merciful and just!
    Help us see all your creation
    As from you a sacred trust.
    And when people cry in anguish
    For their own or others’ pain,
    Show us ways to make a difference
    O dear God, make us humane!
    Jane Parker Huber (b. 1926)
