Excerpt from Matins and Vespers: With Hymns and Occasional Devotional Pieces
So much of serene and so much of joyful feeling, so much of calm and grateful recollection, so much of present peace and comfort, and so much of holy and transporting hope, are connected with the cultivation of the devotional spirit, that to assist its exercises, to administer to its wants, and to aecom pany its heavenly aspirations, are objects worthy of the noblest, the best ambition.
In attempting to give some of the ornaments of song to such contemplations, and such expressions as become those who have formed a true estimate of life, and of the ends of living, I trust I have never forgotten that the substance of piety is of higher interest than any of its decorations. That the presence of truth is of more importance than the garment it wears.
