Isaac WattsHow shall polluted mortals dare To sing Thy glory or Thy grace Beneath Thy feet we lie afar And see but shadows of Thy face.
About This Quote
The color of this quote is supposed to be blue but the only thing I can see it as is gray (close enough). The parts of the quote that are in question are: "How shall polluted mortals dare To sing Thy glory or Thy grace Beneath Thy feet we lie afar And see but shadows of Thy face." As far as I can tell, there really isn't much to say here. It seems like it is a quote about morals and religion and what something like that would look like if there were no God.
