Additional quotes by Samuel John Stone

The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation By water and the Word.

’Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.

Weary of earth and laden with my sin,
I look at heaven, and long to enter in.

Yet Saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, ‘How long?’ And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. - Samuel John Stone
