Additional quotes by Frederick William Faber

For right is right, since God is God;
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.

See! he sinks
Without a word; and his ensanguined bier
Is vacant in the west, while far and near
Behold! each coward shadow eastward shrinks,
Thou dost not strive, O sun, nor dost thou cry
Amid thy cloud-built streets.

O Paradise! O Paradise!
The world is growing old;
Who would not be at rest and free
Where love is never cold?
