Quotes by Philipp Spitta

The Lord knows his own and has always known them, the great and the small in every people and land. He does not let them perish, he leads them out and in; in life and in death they are and remain his.

Philipp Spitta

I stand in my Lord's hand and want to remain standing there; no earthly need, no earthly trifle shall drive me from it. And when the whole world falls apart, whoever holds to him and whom he holds will remain safe.

Philipp Spitta

He is a rock, a sure refuge, and wonders shall those see who rely on his true word and trust him. He has said it, and on that my heart ventures joyfully and undaunted, and is not afraid at all.

Philipp Spitta

So help us, Lord, to faith and hold us firmly in it; let nothing rob us of hope; let love be heartfelt! And when the day appears when the world will see you, let us as your own stand at your right hand!

Philipp Spitta
