"What can I write for the encouragement of others; when I feel such poverty of soul myself as is the case this morning. Still I am thankful that I can sing. I am trusting Lord in thee. Blessed lamb of calvery. All my hope on thee is said, all my help from thee I bring. Cover my defenseless head, with the shadow of thy wing."

Emily Millikan Blair in "Until We Sleep Our Last Sleep" by Emily W. Skinner
