Quotation by Richard Chenevix Trench

Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,
Or others—that we are not always strong—
That we are sometimes overborne with care—
That we should ever weak or heartless be,
Anxious or troubled—when with us is prayer,
And joy and strength and courage are with Thee?
Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–1886), British philologist. Lord, what a change within us one short hour (l. 9–14). . .
