Frederick William Faber Quotes About Songs

Quotes about: Songs

• Kind words are the music of the world. They have a power which seems to be beyond natural causes, as if they were some angel's song which had lost its way and come to earth.

  Song, Kindness, Angel

  Frederick William Faber (1860). “Spiritual conferences”, p.32

• Now are the days, of humblest prayer,
  When consciences to God lie bare,
  And mercy most delights to spare.
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  Now is the season, wisely long,
  Of sadder thought and graver song,
  When ailing souls grow well and strong.
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  The feast of penance! Oh so bright,
  With true conversion's heavenly light,
  Like sunrise after stormy night!
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  Oh happy time of blessed tears,
  Of surer hopes, of chast'ning fears,
  Undoing all our evil years.
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  Chastise us with Thy fear;
  Yet, Father! in the multitude
  Of Thy compassions, hear!

  Frederick William Faber
