Quotes
Stern Daughter of the Voice of God!
A light to guide, a rod
To check the erring, and reprove.
To check the erring, and reprove.
Give unto me, made lowly wise,
The spirit of self-sacrifice;
The confidence of reason give,
And in the light of truth thy bondman let me live!
The spirit of self-sacrifice;
The confidence of reason give,
And in the light of truth thy bondman let me live!
