“My Father in heaven,
may I hear Thy voice today!
Above the clamor of the crowd
may I hear the high calling
of God in Christ Jesus!
May I never lose the sound of the trumpet!
May I hear it in my joys
and in my sorrows,
in my labors and in my rest!”
- John Henry Jowett

“The cheerful Sabbath bells,
wherever heard,
Strike pleasant on the sense,
most like the voice Of one,
who from the far-off hills proclaims
Tidings of good to Zion.”
- Charles Lamb
