Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or rose:

“Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God!
He, whose word cannot be broken, Form’d for thee his own abode:
On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.”

Than that which, withering on the virgin thorn,
Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness.”
