Meekness
O blessed well of love! O flower of grace.
Spenser.
He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth.
Bible.
Meekness is the grace which, from beneath God’s footstool, lifts up a candid and confiding eye, accepting God’s smile of Fatherly affection, and adoring those perfections which it cannot comprehend.
James Hamilton.
The flower of meekness on a stem of grace.
James Montgomery.
