“Thy glory o’er creation shines;
But in Thy sacred Word,
I read in fairer, brighter lines,
My bleeding, dying Lord.”
- Anne Steele, “Thou Lovely Source of True Delight”
“The whole world is a theater of the glory of God. But what is the glory of creation, of the preservation and governing of the world, compared to the glory of his mercy and compassion that shines in Christ? The glory of the creature is nothing to this, for all the creatures were made of nothing. But the glory of mercy is such in Christ that God became a creature himself.”
- Richard Sibbes, Glorious Freedom
