Note 27 — THE ANTIQUITIES OF BRIDGNORTH. PART I.
Reading edition
There is a store of practical wisdom on this subject in these two verses of the Morning Hymn in the “Christian Year,”
“We need not bid for cloister’d cell, Our neighbour, and our work farewell; Nor strive to wind ourselves too high For sinful man beneath the sky. The trivial round, the common task, Would furnish all we ought to ask: Room to deny ourselves; a road To bring us, daily, nearer God.”
