His will be done, as done it surely will be, whether we humble ourselves to resignation or not. The impulse of creation forwards it; the strength of powers, seen and unseen, has its fulfillment in charge. Proof of a life to come must be given. In fire and in blood, if needful, must that proof be written. In fire and in blood do we trace the record throughout nature. In fire and in blood does it cross our own experience. Sufferer, faint not through terror of this burning evidence. Tired wayfarer, gird up thy loins, look upward, march onward. Pilgrims and brother mourners, join in friendly company. Dark through the wilderness of this world stretches the way for most of us: equal and steady be our tread; be our cross our banner. For staff we have His promis, whose 'word is tried, whose way perfect": for present hope His providence, 'who gives the shield of salvation, whose gentleness makes great'; for final home His bosom, who 'dwells in the height of Heaven'; for crowning prize a glory exceeding and eternal. Let us so run that we may obtain: let us endure hardness as good soldiers; let us finish our course, and keep the faith, reliant in the issue to come off more than conquerors: 'Art though not from everlasting mine Holy One? WE SHALL NOT DIE! .Anonymous
About This Quote
"His will be done, as done it surely will be, whether we humble ourselves to resignation or not." The quote is from the Lord, Hubert Butler. Hubert Butler was an Irishman who wrote in the 19th century. He was born in County Mayo in Ireland in 1817. At age twenty-three he was ordained an Anglican priest.
He later became a Roman Catholic priest. In 1840, he married his first wife, Anne O'Kelly. After his marriage, he left Ireland for England in 1841.
There he became a preacher at the Church of England in Soho Square in London. The following year he moved to Ireland where he remained until 1846 when he returned to London again. In 1848, he returned to Ireland for good and began to write about his faith in God and belief in reincarnation.
His faith in God was so strong that this faith helped him endure the suffering he went through during his life. He died on December 6, 1890 at Mount Hope Asylum where he lived after being diagnosed with insanity by doctors because of his religious beliefs surrounding reincarnation.
