Henry Vaughan Quotes About Prayer

• Querida noche, la derrota de este mundo, el freno a los locos ocupados, el control y el freno del cuidado, el día de los espíritus, el retiro tranquilo de mi alma que nadie perturba. El progreso de Cristo, y su tiempo de oración; Las horas a las que el alto cielo da las campanadas.

  Henry Vaughan

  Henry Vaughan, Henry Francis Lyte (1871). “The Poetical Works of Herbert and Vaughan: With a Memoir”, p.94

• When first thy eyes unveil, give thy soul leave
  To do the like; our bodies but forerun
  The spirit's duty. True hearts spread and heave
  Unto their God, as flow'rs do to the sun.
  Give him thy first thoughts then; so shalt thou keep
  Him company all day, and in him sleep.

  Henry Vaughan

  Prayer, Heart, Sleep

  George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, Louis Lohr Martz (1986). “George Herbert and Henry Vaughan”, Oxford University Press, USA

• Yet never sleep the sun up. Prayer shou'd
  Dawn with the day. There are set, awful hours
  'Twixt heaven and us. The manna was not good
  After sun-rising; far day sullies flowres.
  Rise to prevent the sun; sleep doth sin glut,
  And heaven's gate opens when the world's is shut.

  Henry Vaughan

  Prayer, Sleep, Heaven
