“The bridegroom brings his dowry. And does not Christ enrich with gifts? Angels may marvel, dazzled by the Church’s wealth. He holds back nothing from her. All His attributes are her grand inheritance. His wisdom is hers to guide. His power is hers to uphold. His love is as the sun to cheer. His faithfulness and truth are her shield and buckler. His Spirit is poured down in unfailing measure to teach, to solace, and to bless her. His righteousness is hers, to be her spotless robe. His heavens are hers to be her home. His throne is hers, to be her seat. His glory is hers, to be her crown. His eternity is hers, that she may joy for ever. Happy the soul, which responds, all this I steadfastly believe!” Henry Law (1797-1884)

“O Lord, I confess I am a poor prisoner to sin and Satan, I would fain be set at liberty to believe thy word, and to do thy will; but, alas, I cannot. I find many a door fast shut upon me in this prison, and many a lock upon the doors, many lets and impediments which I am never able to remove; and therefore, gracious Lord, do that for me, which neither I myself nor all the friends I can make are able to do for me; pay the debts of thy poor prisoner in my blessed Surety, and set open the prison doors.” Matthew Lawrence (1657)
