Watts

Famous quotes containing the word watts:

“Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine.
But oh, their end, their dreadful end,
Thy sanctuary taught me so,
On slipp’ry rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

“God gives us our relatives—thank God we can choose our friends.”

“Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home;”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
