| Blessed is the pilgrim, who in every place, and at all times of this his banishment in the body, calling upon the holy name of Jesus, calleth to mind his native heavenly land, where his blessed Master, the King of saints and angels, waiteth to receive him.

And that will also bring us higher, though we come short of many of them in holiness and grace. Author: John Owen |
