Source of encouraging 'old poet' quote As is usual with Rev. Watts, this was an excellent message!
Near the end of the message, Rev. Watts says:
The old poet said,
"Not one shaft of ill can hit,
'til the God of love sees fit.
'ere he bids,
I cannot die."
My family and I wondered where this quote came from, so I did an Internet search. I found somewhat different variations of it in A.W. Pink's "Life of David", Pink's "Sovereignty of God" (which related it to Psalm 91), C.H. Spurgeon's "Treasury of David" (in the section on Psalm 118), and a sermon on Philippians 4 byRev. Geoff Thomas' (Alfred Place Baptist Church, Aberystwyth).
It looks like the original source is likely a hymn by England's John Ryland, which begins "Sovereign Ruler of the skies!" and seems quoted most fully at http://www.muskogee007.com/ryland.htm. |
