Towne: I need not shout my faith

Tuesday, January 27, 2026
Meditation:
The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
    —Psalm 19:1 (NIV)
Quotation:
I need not shout my faith. Thrice eloquent
    Are quiet trees and the green, listening sod;
Hushed are the stars, whose power is never spent;
    The hills are mute: yet how they speak of God!
    ... Charles Hanson Towne (1877-1949), included in Masterpieces of Religious Verse, James Dalton Morrison, ed., New York: Harper & Bros., 1948, p. 22 (see the book)
    See also Ps. 19:1; Ps. 8:3-4; 33:6; 148:3-4; Isa. 40:22-26; Jer. 10:11; Rom. 1:10-20
