Famous quotes containing the words christian and/or music:

    “My Christian friends, in bonds of love, whose hearts in sweetest union join,
    Your friendship’s like a drawing band, yet we must take the parting hand.
    Your company’s sweet, your union dear; Your words delightful to my ear,
    Yet when I see that we must part, You draw like cords around my heart.”
    —John Blain (18th century)

    “When in our music God is glorified,
    and adoration leaves no room for pride,
    it is as though the whole creation cried Alleluia!”
    —Frederick Pratt Green (b. 1903)
