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)

    “Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
    Bears all its sons away;
    They fly forgotten, as a dream
    Dies at the opening day.”
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    “For Satan finds some mischief still
    For idle hands to do.”
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
