Additional quotes by James Montgomery

The nursery of brooding Pelicans,
The dormitory of their dead, had vanish'd,
And all the minor spots of rock and verdure,
The abodes of happy millions, were no more.

Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.

If God hath made this world so fair,
Where sin and death abound,
How beautiful beyond compare
Will paradise be found!

Who that hath ever been Could bear to be no more? Yet who would tread again the scene He trod through life before? - James Montgomery
