The grateful song, the fervent prayer,—
The incense of the heart, —may rise
To heaven, and find acceptance there.

Additional quotes by John Pierpont

A weapon that comes down as still
As snowflakes fall upon the sod;
But executes a freeman's will,
As lightning does the will of God;
And from its force nor doors nor locks
Can shield you,—'t is the ballot-box.

From every place below the skies The grateful song, the fervent prayer,— The incense of the heart, —may rise To heaven, and find acceptance there. - John Pierpont
