Thy Brother

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or brother:

    Make me thy Loome: thy Grace the warfe therein,
    My duties Woofe, and let thy word winde Quills.
    The shuttle shoot. Cut off the ends my sins.
    Thy Ordinances make my fulling mills,
    My Life thy Web: and cloath me all my dayes
    With this Gold-web of Glory to thy praise.
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

    Not my brother or my sister, but it’s me, O Lord,
    standin’ in the need of prayer:
    —African-American hymn-writer. “Standing in the Need of Prayer,” l. 3-4.
