Temple Family Homestead

Famous quotes containing the words temple, family and/or homestead:

    Lord, how can man preach thy eternall word?
    He is a brittle crazie glasse:
    Yet in thy temple thou dost him afford
    This glorious and transcendent place,
    To be a window, through thy grace.

    These Flemish pictures of old days;
    Sit with me by the homestead hearth,
    And stretch the hands of memory forth
    To warm them at the wood-fire’s blaze!
