Additional quotes by James Montgomery

Gashed with honourable scars,
Low in Glory's lap they lie;
Though they fell, they fell like stars,
Streaming splendour through the sky.

Friend after friend departs; Who hath not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an end.

Hymns should have unity,graduation and mutual dependence in the thoughts,a conscious progress,a sense of completeness..and be easily understood.
