"Thou hast shown me that because thou art mine
I can live by Thy life,
be strong in Thy strength,
be guided by Thy wisdom;
and so I can pitch my thoughts and heart in Thee."
"With Thee I can live without other things,
for Thou art God all-sufficient,
and the glory, peace, rest, joy of the world
is a creaturely, perishing thing in comparison with Thee.
Help me to know that he who hopes for nothing but Thee,
and for all things only for Thee, hopes truly,
and that I must place all my happiness in holiness,
if I hope to be filled with all grace."
- The Valley of Vision
